Crazy Never Before Seen Logitech Mutant Mouse Prototypes

Posted by Matt Buchanan at 10:20 AM on December 4, 2008

I love Logitech mice, so I actually dug their shameless mouse timeline. Even more awesome, though, are these amazing prototypes that never left their lab, like the three-scroll wheel monstrosity and hockey puck above.

 

They get wonderfully cheeky about them too, saying that the hockey-puck mouse "looked cool but turned out to be less than comfortable." (WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE.) Here are a few of the more ridiculous ones, but be sure to check out the whole run. It's hard to believe some these even made it off the page, much less into a polished, physical form in some cases. Of course, none of them will ever top my beloved, retired MX500.



Really fantastic. I wish more companies would show us some of their aborted lab creatures. [Blogitech (PDF) via BoingBoing Gadgets]

Speaking of the mx500, mine is almost dead but i still use it over my mx1000 laser... any chance of an appeal to logitech to keep producing them? I can't find any online.. :(
