Buffalo's mice designers are at it again, somehow figuring out how to turn a vanilla mousing peripheral into something out of the ordinary. The BOMC2-Y01 series may not be as retro-inspired as the firm's
D-Pad critters, but the built-in Mirrored Reflection Lens (MRL) should purportedly make even the slightest of jerks disappear. The mirror-packed mouse supposedly reads the laser inputs at a much higher sensitivity than the
other guys, making it one smooth choice of mouse for those in the market. Additionally, it sports a side-scrolling wheel and comes in "clear lead," silver, white, and black color schemes, but otherwise it looks fairly standard. So if you're digging the ultra-slick approach, you can snap one up later this month for ¥3,720 (or around $32 bucks).

Sorry, no, these suck. What in the world is Buffalo doing? Flunked ergonomics, did they? They oughta stick with memory depositories. Hasn't it been proven, worldwide, that vertical mice are far better on the human arm than these ancient designs?? Heck, they're even wired! Buffalo has taken a few steps down in my esteem. Wake up, Buffalo, and all you other arm and wrist-hurting mice makers! Say it with me..Ver Ti Cal...there, all better.
They look decent, but they are wired!? I didn't know they still made wired mice. Do they make VHS players as well?
You n00b. MANY people still use wired mice. Know why? They don't need batteries!
Dan, surely you're not serious. Vertical mice? As in the kind made by Evoluent?
I don't know ANYONE who uses them - and I don't think there are even major manufacturers that make them.
Yea, I'm the noob and you use batteries? I'm the noob and you can't detect sarcasm when you're reading it? I'm the noob? haha
Wired mice today are either for the very very low end ($5 mouse) or for very very high-end gaming ($90 mouse). They have no place in between.
