Jelly click: it's an inflatable mouse, not a whoopee cushion

For the individual first on the waiting list for inflatable garb (and the average traveler looking to trim down that carry-on), the Jelly click is quite the dream come true. Granted, it seems as if this blow-up critter is merely a concept at the moment, but that's not to say some unorthodox peripheral company out there won't grab hold of the idea and run with it. In case you couldn't piece it together based on the photo above, this mouse lays perfectly flat for intercontinental jaunts, but a few light puffs turns it into a tool your hand can really get along with -- until it brushes up against a sharp object, that is.

i'm sorry engadget, but i've been seeing this for a few days on stumblupon...

[kojo87 @ Jan 31st 2008 8:40PM]

i think im gonna stick with my Razer DeathAdder...

[Mile @ Jan 31st 2008 8:41PM]

@Carl - It Matters Not. GTFO.

Now, when will they make an inflatable laptop?

[Hill-various @ Jan 31st 2008 8:43PM]

Sharp...like my wit!

[shiizun @ Jan 31st 2008 8:54PM]

where is jellypress?

[w00t @ Jan 31st 2008 9:01PM]

Wow this looks like a horrible idea!

I'm sure a normal laptop mouse would be far more useful and the weight/comfort/having-to-inflate-the-damn-thing-up-everytime issues with this would far negate any benefit! :)

[Matt Wier @ Jan 31st 2008 9:05PM]

@ Mile - Now that would be a true MacBook Air.

[Rafer @ Jan 31st 2008 9:16PM]

Why...

Its like an unnecessary niche that was unnecessarily filled.

[John @ Jan 31st 2008 9:17PM]

Unfortunately, I use a knife as my mousepad. And not the flat part.

[Bryce @ Jan 31st 2008 9:18PM]

WTF???????? What a weird concept! Though it could be good for traveling.

[david @ Jan 31st 2008 9:30PM]

Again, fill it with helium.

[James Cameron @ Jan 31st 2008 9:31PM]

I think I would go for the soft silicon mouse. I'm beginning to get real tire hand using my hard shell mouse all day long. You'll never know until you try it folks.

[Zeus.:God @ Jan 31st 2008 9:50PM]

I'll stick with my superior Logitech G5 mouse, that is superior in every way to the Razer DeathAdder.

[Elaine @ Jan 31st 2008 10:20PM]

Is it just me, or does it look like a small condom?

[Bevon Findley @ Jan 31st 2008 10:31PM]

@Elaine.

Its just you. Sex on the brain?

[blacklistxhunter @ Jan 31st 2008 10:42PM]

Make it look like a jigglypuff and i'm sold

: )

PUFF PUFF

[Kyle Hance @ Jan 31st 2008 10:43PM]

This would seriously be really great for traveling, as long as it works ok. I have a feeling it's a little awkward to click it..

[rwfu666 @ Jan 31st 2008 10:51PM]

screw you guys
I want one
>.

[Reader @ Jan 31st 2008 11:15PM]

Was going to ask why everyone is using @ instead of the convenient reply button... That is until I clicked it.

What gives?

[Zorque @ Jan 31st 2008 11:28PM]

Something about this thing looks suggestive. I can't explain it, but I feel dirty looking at it.

[Tony Colonello @ Feb 1st 2008 12:39AM]

Who is going to the first one to ask their secretary to blow their mouse?

And how much do you think the sexual harassment settlement will be for?

[skulldriveshaft @ Feb 1st 2008 2:50AM]

WHO BROKE THE REPLY BUTTON!?!?

Anyways, I completely expect the NEW version to come with a USB powered air pump :] so it inflates as soon as you plug it into the USB port!

HAHA! I hold Artistic License & Patent that concept!

[skulldriveshaft @ Feb 1st 2008 2:51AM]

@ Elaine - You may not be using condoms recently.

To me that looks like a well used and filled condom, before and after drying out.

[Technex @ Feb 1st 2008 3:10AM]

Man the comment system is really fucked, lol...

[Earl Jr. @ Feb 1st 2008 3:15AM]

now we need an inflatable keyboard to go along with it. man, that would be trippy to type on.

[mattclarkie @ Feb 1st 2008 5:51AM]

I like a heavy mouse, even a standard laptop mouse is on the light side. This will be to light for me to even contemplate using. I'm out.

[zfurie @ Feb 1st 2008 10:32AM]

What if I give this to a blow up doll? What would a blow up doll really use this for?

[Dave Sousa @ Feb 1st 2008 12:03PM]

oooooooo squishy

[TIMMAH! @ Feb 1st 2008 4:44PM]

Nothing worse than a flaccid mouse...
