Those look precisely as ergonomic as the Apple hockey puck mice (E.G. not).
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

Its too bad there aren't more interesting options for mice (at least interesting ones that work well) I picked up an mx 518 yesterday because my Roccat Kone just isn't tracking well. The Kone looked pretty sweet, but I cannot stand having the pointer twitch. I though about getting one of the Cyborg RAT mice, which look pretty customizable, but I think the look is over the top, and the 518 is pretty much gauranteed to work for a long time.

That looks like a scrubbing bubble.

I'd say a cross between that and the classic Honeywell "The Round" thermostat.  Neither one seems appealing as an input device for a computer, though, and combining them sure doesn't help!

But hey, I've been wrong before.  I thought phones without physical buttons would never catch on.

I dreamt last night that my mother bought me this mouse and I posted in this thread saying how horrible it is...

Quite odd I'd say.

AHHHHH!

The Rotokiller RTR-720 is still around?!

Jesus H. Christ, I remember getting freaked out by that thing back in 2006.

Then I got curious, but never bought one.

Now I'm still curious about how it would handle, but I'm a cheap bastard who is about to enter University, and can't afford one for testing.
