Zap germs with your mouse

Darius Chang | Sep 26, 2006

Wireless laser mice are a dime a dozen. But Iogear's mouse not only kills virtual enemies, it zaps away deadly bacteria as well.

From washing machines to handphones, silver ion technology is hitting the peripheral world as well. The 1,600dpi Germ Free Wireless Laser Mouse is coated with a titanium dioxide and silver nano particle compound which prevent bacteria, virus, fungi and algae from thriving after countless hours of clicking. With an operating range of 2m, this Iogear mouse is compatible with Windows and Mac machines. It also comes with, according to the product Web page, a "solid three-year warranty", which should rest the minds of users who might be wary of empty promises.

On the other hand, carpel tunnel syndrome (CTS) sufferers may find relief with the WoW-Mouse. Shaped like a pen and handled like one, too, this wireless mouse is also coated with an anti-bacteria silver ion protective layer. Created by INNO Design in Palo Alto, California, this mouse is only compatible with Windows and Mac users will have to contend with physiotherapy instead for their CTS problems.
