An Australian based company called Cyber Sport is getting ready to release a wireless mouse replacement called the Orbital Mouse. The price is $98.50, but this thing sure looks cool. Check out the video. I want one!

I’m having flashbacks of using the iMac ‘hockey puck’ mouse…
Neat as all heck to look at. An absolute pain to use. This might be better, but I’d have to actually try it to see. (How easy is it to grab without looking and have ‘up’ be ‘up’?)
Daniel:
Very good question… I’m hoping they will send me one to review so that I can let you know.
Hi Daniel
The coolest thing about this mouse it that it *knows* which way is up on its own, owing to its inbuilt compass. So, you can spin and mouse freely without worrying about orientation, and the fluid spinning motion controls scrolling, video jogging, object rotation etc.

Eh, not to be pessimistic, but the days of the mouse seem to be limited unfortunately. $100 for any kind of mouse is asking a lot, too.
Travis: Do you still use a mouse?
I’m not sure that I agree that its days are numbered. What do you think will take its place? Multi-touch type input devices? I want a want a neural mouse 
One where I just have to think about the link I want to click, to go to that page.
