Gadgets with FACES #28: A particularly happy Dell optical mouse

They love it. They just love being flipped over.

'Tickle my low-friction pads'

"Today I was working away quite happily here in TomTom Amsterdam (cheap pop), when my mouse flipped over, all on its own. At first I thought nothing of this freak incident, until I looked down and saw this great face staring back at me. It's almost like a clown! Just look at the red shiny nose. Anyway, I thought you might be interested. I shall keep you posted with any more Dutch findings. If you're interested. it is some kind of "Dell" mouse. Came with my laptop. I know no further details - Steven."

Oh dear, these gadgets with faces are getting more and more tenuous by the day. Please Idiot, think of a new feature before we all go mad!

Actually, I was thinking about "Things They Still Make."

Like fax machines. And soda stream things. And... hopefully the readers will pick up the slack with some ideas.

Or how about "Who's got the oldest TV?"

There must be some gems in the homes of elderly relatives.

YouTube videos of them "warming up" would go down a storm.

That is exactly like my mouse here at work. Must mean that it's part of some bargain basement, cheap-skate deal.

Now that I know about it's face I don't like to bother it. Work rate... has.... seriously... suffered.......

I nominate: ANCIENT CALCULATORS.

And I don't mean abacuses, or whatever the plural is.

How about keyboard contents month? Everyone has all kinds of crap hidden away beneath their keys, from biscuit crumbs to coffee stains, bogeys and the occasional pubic hair. Each submission would reveal an epic story about the keyboards user.

I like the sound of ANCIENT CALCULATORS.

I had an awesome Texas Instruments one but it's been thrown away, when I realised the teachers were LYING about the importance of long division in the real world.

Sorry to go against the grain here, but I like these updates. We're discovering all these little smiley buggers all around us; at home, at work, at the disco. I imagine it's what making friends feels like.

My Technika/Tesco Mouse also looks quite happy. Thought not as happy as the Dell mouse. The Dell mouse has the grin of a paedophile.

Here's a lovely high resolution photo for you

Craig, don't waste good material in the comments section.

Email me in confidence. I am that desperate for material/inspiration.

I didn't think it would be worth it's own post, considering you already have a smiley mouse, which looks considerably more happy that mine.

More than one of something = Award Winning Series.

Never mind. Just bear in mind that nothing is too mediocre in future.

Craig, maybe you're rightn about the Dell. It must have raped my Logitech.

I still enjoy the gadgets with faces a lot. But aslong as you don't stop updates with holding related content...
