$1200 Titanium Mouse

Ummm, I don’t care if this damn mouse was made of solid gold, I wouldn’t pay $1200 for it. I am sure there is a limited market for something like this (Optimus Maximus owners maybe?) but beyond that, I’m not sure who would plunk down that kind of cash for a mouse.

I thought it was one of the better looking insanly expensive devices i have seen lately.

But you forgot to mention the high-quality plastic (resin)!!!!!!!

High quality plastic FTW!

Holding a block of concrete seems more comfortable than that.

Gotta love the company's name: "Intelligent Design"

Damn... It's not like Titanium is ridiculously expensive or anything. For crying out loud, Apple made a whole 15" notebook out of it a few years ago that sold for not much more than this *MOUSE*.

Hell, it doesn't even have that much Titanium in it! It's just a funky plastic mouse wrapped in about as much Titanium as is in my watch. (Okay, maybe my two Titanium watches plus my Titanium wedding band combined. But both watches and the wedding band totaled less than $500.)

Clearly no one at Intelligent Design ever held it in their hand. Your thumb has to rest on the gap?

Things like this have their place. Like when someone wants you to spec a system to do something, and then goes on about wanting "the best," but are unable to articulate what they want besides the thing to look expensive enough that they feel impressed.

Add on stuff like this and the maximus, and REALLY high end displays, and redundant power supplies and other bleeding edge stuff, show them the price tag so they either listen to you, or go away.

Lol, this is exactly what I was going to comment on.

Titanium? -check

Bluetooth? -check

High-quality plastic? - ooooOOoh check

Mind-bogglingly thoughtless/simple design? - check

$1200 price tag? -first thing we thought of

rechargeable? ...whoa...wait...what's that mean?
