Canon's X Mark I Mouse Is Also a Calculator


Is it a mouseulator? A calcouse? Whatever you call this bastard child of a mouse and calculator, it's Canon's first model in its legendary X-series of calculators. Can I hear some love from the accountants, please?

The laser mouse is wireless, connecting to Windows and OS X machines via Bluetooth 2.0, and has three click-buttons plus a scroll-wheel. It's pretty much the antithesis to Apple's Magic Trackpad, but that just makes me love it more.

You're probably wondering the same thing I was, when I first saw this mouseulator. The number buttons can be locked when not in use, to avoid accidental equations by a heavy-of-weight palm. And, if you've already got a mouse that you can't bear to part with, the X Mark I mouse can also double up as a numeric keypad, with the mousing-function switched off.

Available in black and white for £40 / €49.

    I'll stick with logitech mouse, it hasn't disappointed yet. Great concept though.

    This is a great idea considering my MacBook doesn't have a Num pad. Bluetooth would save me a precious USB port and lasers are always good.

    With the number pad feature, I can see this being useful for laptops, but the typical desktop user really wouldn't have much to gain from this... I've got a $10 mouse on my desk and a calculator application in my OS with a number pad on my keyboard.

    Still, laptop users could dig this.

    I'd rather just have a left-handed number pad (I usually type left handed and keep my right on my mouse if it's quick typing.)

    Otherwise I'd just use my $1 calculator :O

    Mouseulator. Hahaha

    It looks kinda uncomfortable though. It'd be one of those "for the lulz" purchases

    OR! You can just buy a 1$ calculator to have one next to u, or even cheaper, use windows in-built calculator. I hate these kinds of "inventions"
