Mouse wheel lets you, your boss know how fast you're typing
You sit at your desk all day, typing away for the man without any encouragement at all. Wouldn't it be nice if you had something that made you want to type faster other than your general fear of getting laid off? Because really, that's not very fun encouragement.
This mouse in a wheel, however, is very fun encouragement. You simply plug it into your USB port, and as you type faster, the mouse runs faster on its wheel. If you stop, it stops, giving you a nice visual of how unproductive you are throughout the day. Of course, if your boss notices this and also notices over time that the mouse is stationary more often than not, you might be just giving him a big signal as to who should be first to go when the hammer falls. But hey, it's cute! Right?

Hey! Maybe someone can turn that typing power into a new way to power cars!

This is definitely a cool product, I just wonder if it may distract you more than helping you to type!

I agree with Lafe! May be it's the beginning idea of recharging cellphone while typing. Converting the wheels into a power and yep, that's another natural energy beside the mighty SUN! :D

ITT: people don't know how mechanical work works.
The wheel is not powered by typing. It is powered by the computer. Which is powered by your wall.
So you are using more energy when you use this.

Haha akolyte01 I was just about to say that.
This has no value to "power cars". I mean how do they think it works?! It's a piece of software, not some magical typing-powered generator.
