Gold Bullion Wireless Mouse only looks like a million bucks

Look, we fully understand the dilemma. You picked up a Pure*Gold PC late last year, and you've been tirelessly searching for a suitable mouse to use with it ever since. At long, long last, said device is finally upon us. Too comical for Crapgadget and too outlandish to be taken seriously, the Gold Bullion Wireless Mouse operates on practically any USB-enabled machine and is coated with precisely zero atoms of gold film. In other words, around 98 percent of the $34.68 asking price is for the looks alone, but you know it's worth it.

hah! I claim 1st!!

[barCODE Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:17AM]

Hah, I claim you'll be first to be lowest ranked, while I will get highest ranked!

[Silverfox2000 Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:24AM]

LOL of course, it's Engadget tradition to low rank 1st posts. Heck, I'll low rank myself right now.

[rclightboy197 Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:31AM]

that backfired

[Silverfox2000 Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:42AM]

lol and I didn't even do anything.

[GoodBytes Posted Apr 9th 2009 3:25AM]

Congratulation! Here is a picture of a Gold Bullion Wireless Mouse! (see above)

[Sam of the Sun Posted Apr 9th 2009 4:37AM]

Do I get lowranked for claiming 7th? On topic, that thing is hideous. About as ergonomic as using a brick as a dildo.

really?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 12:55PM]

Fools gold. Because only a fool would want to use a mouse shaped like that.

[Silverfox2000 Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:12AM]

OK now that i made my mark in Engadget I must say this mouse fully qualifies as a Crapgadget.

[collegekid13 Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:12AM]

i must say that was the best joke i've read on this site yet

[newreformation Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:14AM]

recession anecdote?

To bad it looks like gold. Obama is bound to do what FDR did and claim all private gold once the depression hits.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:49AM]

one of you chucklefucks always has to find some way to convolute a connection to obama for every fucking engadget article, don't you

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 4:19AM]

I remember this story of a man during the Great Depression...



You said anecdote right?

[KarlW Posted Apr 9th 2009 6:04AM]

@Uncontrol

Obama or Apple. One or more is certain to crop up in the comments for every article.

[Wwhat Posted Apr 9th 2009 10:10AM]

"once the depression hits"
Erm..

No Mr. Bond, I expect you to us the right-click context menu ...

Hehe, It does give new meaning to the name Goldfinger I suppose

[Sam of the Sun Posted Apr 9th 2009 4:39AM]

Better then red, pink or brownfinger anyway.

[Erb Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:30AM]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (BarCODE) got Pwnd.

[HowardLive Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:41AM]

So which is worse, I wonder: a cheesy "gold bar" mouse for $35 or the "I Am Rich" iPhone app for a grand?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:50AM]

...there is gold in gold paint...
...so 0 gold atoms probably isnt accurate...

[AMiSHPiRACY Posted Apr 9th 2009 4:03AM]

um... there's also diamonds in the diamond-bling sticker packets you can buy at walmart.

[takun Posted Apr 9th 2009 2:58AM]

Well I'll be...

*takes off monocle*

This would look simply dandy next to my fine gold-plated monitor and keyboard! Quite brilliant, I must say. I'll place an order right away!

[A7 Posted Apr 9th 2009 3:22AM]

Mr T called, wants his mouse back, you crazy fools.....

[darkmax Posted Apr 9th 2009 3:39AM]

i can see Mr What's-his-name-who-owns-TV-show-The-Apprentice (sorry I really ca't recall) owns one of this in his gold-guilded home in NYC.

Rainbows are pretty. I don't know why I shoot at them.

/facepalm

[James2432 Posted Apr 9th 2009 8:07AM]

Imagine how many finger prints that thing would show...

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 9:43AM]

I won't lie... I think that mouse actually looks surprisingly comfortable... I'd like to try it :D

[Wwhat Posted Apr 9th 2009 10:16AM]

Seems an OK mouse, I've seem much worse, much much worse, I just wonder how sturdy it is and if the paint won't come off, but if it's OK in that area too I'd say there's nothing wrong with it and would not dub it crap myself, just frivolous.
And it's funny how you engadgeters laugh at the price of 35 bucks for a wireless mouse with a unique look whereas you don't mind the $200+ for that razer mouse, sure it has more options and higher standards hopefully, but $200+ for a mouse?
Women's designer bag will set you back 2 grand just for for looks or name incidentally, to put it in perspective.

[FILA Posted Apr 9th 2009 8:02PM]

would be really uncomfortable to use
