We fly high at Engadget -- our chains hang low and our gadgets shine bright. When Sony told us they were dropping a gold PSP, we thought we finally had a gaming device gaudy enough to roll with our PharrellBerrys and Vertus, only to be disappointed by an unimpressive paint job. Well at least someone is coming through for us and releasing peripherals baller enough to be added to our growing collection of luxury devices. Swiss manufacturer Pat Says Now's "world's most expensive mouse" comes in three choices of 18-karat white, yellow or red gold, with 59 diamonds in either a flower or scattered design. For what it is, you would think it would offer a resolution higher than 800 dpi, but for the privilege of having another "world's ___" we suppose that's a small price to pay in paying such a large price.[Via Shiny Shiny]
Just what I always wanted..
Just once I'd like to see a blinged out piece of technology that doesn't follow the rule of precious materials + high price = a device so ugly it makes you want to pluck out your eyes. This piece of crap is so clunky and boxy looking that it reminds me of my old Atari ST mouse. If you can afford to source all that bling, you can afford to hire a decent designer.
When's the last time luxury tech was ever cutting edge? The bajillion dollar mouse, the diamond studded cellphone, the ultra Ferrari laptop. All these designer products are priced with ridiculous premiums when the actual electronics are inferior to products a tenth, sometimes one-hundredth of the cost.
Maybe the PRADA cell is an exception, but it's also within a normal price range of a cellie.
Its also the worlds uglyest mouse.
What the hell is red gold?
In the words of Triumph:
"It's the worlds most expensive mouse.....for me to poop on!"
They should have an "ugly mouse" cat. Maybe "Moped Mouses"
Kewl!
Right, lets put a bunch of razor sharp diamonds in there...
Ugly and expensive? Reminds me of the Mercedes G500...
This is why I constantly scan for other gadget blogs.
This whole cool with the scene, bling bling thing is dull. Gadgets, not jewelry, thanks.
Thanks for the price on the "worlds most expensive mouse"
I have a mouse for sale, and it's priced at $50,000USD.
Do I qualify as the maker of the World's Biggest Waste of Money now?

That is really expensive for just a mouse. Here’s another site you might want to look at that to see some more very expensive items. Thank you.
