Samsung sends mouse to fat house

Samsung has recently paraded its Ultra Slim Mouse 8.0 in Korea, taking the same naming convention as some of the more popular svelte handsets that are currently available in the market. Measuring a mere 8mm thin (and hence its name), the Ultra Slim Mouse features a wheel that scrolls horizontally as well as five different buttons that perform individual functions. It looks more like an MP3 player than anything else, and I seriously doubt ergonomics is at the top of the designers' minds when they came up with this on the drawing board. Say hello to Mr. RSI and family should you make this mouse a regular feature at your desk.
