Does Magic Mouse have minus buttons, for you? How about testing OOMouse?

How many boats does Apple's little wonder of multi-touch technology have? One. Two, if you have the lever that (dis) connects the rodent. The Magic Mouse's solitary button, however, is super smart and can do real miracles, such as allowing primary and secondary clicks, 360 scrolling, page scrolling and even other cositas ms, via MultiClutch. But let's agree that playing World of Warcraft with him should be the end of the bite, or the beginning of your pwnage. If only there were in the world a mouse with 18 programmable buttons

wait to! Now h! The abomination you see above is OOMouse. And “OO” comes from “OpenOffice.org”: WarMouse launched, under the benefits of the open productivity suite, a mouse that has an absurd amount of buttons that can be programmed to work with numerous Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk AutoCAD software, Microsoft Office and OpenOffice (of course!) Are on the list.

According to the mouse designer, Theodore Beale:

useful? For those who like peripherals that look like the fruit of the forbidden love of a scientific calculator with a mouse, certainly. But anyone who wants to adopt an OOMouse will have to pay more than the doctor to be seen with this horrendous thing the amount of $ 75. If you want to substantiate your preference for this mouse with a comparative table of the most popular mice on the market, on the theme: here is one.

I prefer to keep my life simple: left, middle click *, right, scroll, weeeeee! There, it's over and for $ 5 less, wireless.

* I have faith that a software update will allow you to trigger the Dashboard by clicking on the Magic Mouse with two fingers. I have f

Update

Bad news for those who already had the credit card in hand (anyone?). OOMouse, it seems, is a very real prototype that will be launched eventually. However, the creator of this “unusual” mouse was never given authorization to place the OpenOffice.org brand on it: the relationship between one thing and the other is only due to the fact that the presentation of OOMouse took place at OOoCon 2009, which took place in Italy (just to check the reaction of the community). So, despite not intending to change its name, this ugly little duckling can no longer be associated with open productivity for her good.
