You'll go ga ga ga ga ga over Elecom's Like a Spoon mouse

Travel mice don't tend to be fashionable things. Tiny? Yes. Lookers? No. Elecom's latest, the Like a Spoon mouse, bucks that trend, following in a long line of tidily designed gadgets from the company. In terms of buttons it's got nuffin' on the OpenOfficeMouse, but it looks to fall to hand much more comfortably, with a soft effects coating on top and a stainless steel rim 'round the edge. The price is set at a somewhat steep ￥8,000 in Japan, which equates to about $90, though sadly we doubt this one will be making the transference to America.

Looks distinctly average to me :S

[cheadrou Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:08AM]

@Bomberman Why are you hating on Engdadget for reporting new, interesting things? You got no time for the messenger, got no regard for the thing that you don't understand. You've got no fear of the underdog. That's why you will not survive!

@ Tim Stevens

Two words for you: Arc Mouse.

[Federaly Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:16AM]

@cheadrou dude "Bomberman" was just saying it looked average...which it does. Whats your personal opinion on nondescript cardboard boxes, Are they the underdog of containers?

Also I don't see this hate you mentioned.

@cheadrou don't worry i got the reference too, spoon rocks

[Eternity Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:10AM]

That's one chubby mouse. All they need to do is add pointy little years on it and whiskers.

I would prefer if someone came out with a really durable travel mouse that I could just toss in my bag with no worries.

[ThePimento Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:14AM]

Apple's hockey puck mouse, anyone?

[fractalbit Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:15AM]

There is no spoon!

[Bomberman Posted Nov 24th 2009 9:10AM]

[Bomberman Posted Nov 24th 2009 9:18AM]

[cheadrou Posted Nov 24th 2009 10:20AM]

Oy, that's just wrong, mate.

[Critic2029 Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:27AM]

Beware of the Underdog...

[honus Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:29AM]

Nice looking mouse. Stylish like a fitted shirt.

[fiercek Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:39AM]

@honus it certainly doesn't have short legs and square shoulders.

[shadowj0 Posted Nov 24th 2009 10:54AM]

@honus

"Stylish like a fitted shirt" applies to douchebags.

[John Stracke Posted Nov 24th 2009 9:13AM]

OK, I don't think I've ever said this before, but now I have to:

Gag me with a spoon.

[Bomberman Posted Nov 24th 2009 9:33AM]

@Bomberman lol how does that happen? Who knows where this will end up?

[Corky Posted Nov 24th 2009 9:22AM]

You know, it kind of looks like my little Japanese cigarette case.

Oh God, too many Spoon jokes could be had, here.

[Bomberman Posted Nov 24th 2009 9:34AM]

[nothing Posted Nov 24th 2009 10:29AM]

On that pic that show battery, it doesn't even look like an optical mouse... And even if it is, for $90, rly? Wow..

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 24th 2009 10:50AM]

No worries, Logitech will make a peripheral to out preform and out style anyone.

[JClay Posted Nov 24th 2009 11:30AM]

Go ga ga or... Go Go Engadget Mouse !

[jjpember Posted Nov 24th 2009 1:50PM]

There is no spoon.

[jzatz Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:16PM]

See the original design was too large, until the marketing director said "My spoon is too big!"
