Casio USB thermal label printing mouse is an awkward tale of convergence

labelmouse1.jpg

It's ideas like this that make me question my blogging career and ponder the entrepreneurial field instead. Someone out there thought: "Hey, why don't I take this simple thermal label printer and put it in a mouse?" and is now diving in swimming pools of cash. This simple, two button mouse has a thermal label printer included. It can print anything in any TrueType font from a PC and eliminate the need for additional desktop label printers.

I really hate to say it, but this isn't a bad idea. The mouse is a little awkwardly shaped, but if I can eliminate the need for excess doodads around the desk, then it is a winner. Since it is a thermal printer, one would only wonder if it reaches unbearably hot temperatures? Oh well, the pain is worth it since we live in a world where minimalist desk spaces are king. The mouse is available for $29 with 3-packs of thermal label rolls going for for $14.

I just came across your blog, it was a really interesting read! On the subject of label printing, i actually get all my labels printed by a british labels company for a really low price. If anyone is at all interested then it may be worth taking a look at their website as they do all types of label printing.
