Penguin Ambidextrous Mouse

Has anybody tried this mouse?

http://www.posturite.co.uk/PosturiteSite/product/9820100.htm

The design seems pretty interesting and it's not ridiculously expensive.

[EDIT]: Link has been fixed (Thanks DaemonRacoon)

Penguin Mouse there, OP I fixed your link.

Thoughts on the mouse: It's a penguin shaped mouse.

The PENGUIN MOUSE is now available on Amazon. And I heard that The Human Solution will have it in about a month, probably at a better price than Amazon.

Will anyone here try it and review it soon...? ;)  I don't know if I can try it just yet.

I am trying the 3M Ergo Mouse right now - I like it, but dpi's kinda low, and it needs more buttons and functionality. The Penguin has up to 1600 dpi, and I like how it's ambidextrous (but don't know if it would really be easy to use with either hand).

I think they look more like butt plugs - especially the Penguin. Well, as long as they work...

Looks more like a killer whale (or as the kids say an orca) than a penguin to me.

Though, like those above have said, it does look like it should vibrate more than a whale or any other animal for that matter...is that black part softtouch?

That doesn't look very ergonomic. I couldn't tell if this is somewhat serious or simply a joke.

Ya, it does - especially from the back side photos.

Hard to tell from the pics - I think it'd be good if it were somewhat soft touch. I think the 3M Ergo Mouse has a lite rubbery coating, IIRC.

I think I'd still rather stick w/ my trackballs than give up more desk space to this thing - but I would like to try it. :music:

Yes.  This.  I can't have butt plugs or pseudo-butt plugs out on my desk for the world to see.

I'd be afraid to take that vagina mouse to work. Somebody might complain to HR.

Why'd they have to make it red?  That's the most disturbing part.
