"His" and "hers" mice for the criminally insane

We're not going to lie to you: we have no idea what the crap is going on here. From what we can glean, these two artifacts are both mice, of the computer variety, with various glitter, glam and appendages to denote "his" (warudekomausu) and "hers" (kawadekomausu) editions. What we can't figure out is why anyone would ever buy one of these. No matter, it won't be our 12,600 yen (about $109 US) down the drain.

It's a rollerball/mouse get up. For when your desk is just too cluttered to use a mouse. Tilt the ball to move the cursor, and the buttons (4 of 'em) let you scroll & click. I think I'd prefer the original chrome myself over the swarvoski crystal jobs shown here. (Mod it into a Phantasm ball?)

That mouse on the left looks like it has the Death Note character "L"'s symbol on it. Are these promotional things for Death Note? The fact that "Criminally insane" was mentioned also helps reinforce this idea.

No, these have nothing to do with Death Note. It's a fairly common font face called Old English Text. The one on the left, warudekomausu (written in kanji as 不良マウス - meaning delinquent or "punk" mouse, but read ワルデコマウス, meaning "bad decor" mouse - as in bad boyz) is intended for guys and the one on the right, kawadekomausu (カワデコマウス - "cute decor" mouse), is intended for girls.

A few years ago, my in-laws bought me silver-plated mouse as a Christmas present. It was, essentially, a circa 1995 mouse (wired, mouseball, no scroll wheel), encased in a blue-felt jewelry box. Totally dumb.

I guess my only point is people do buy stupid things, like this. Or like a Zune.
