The sexiest mouse on Earth? A mouse that looks like a TVR Tuscan

Street_Mouse_black_wireless2.JPG

The Tuscan Street Mouse is a realistic replica of the TVR Tuscan Sports Car, reduced to the size of a wireless mouse. And yes, it actually is a wireless mouse. The replica is so complete that at first glance you might totally confuse it with a simple model car.

Complete with headlights, the RF wireless mouse is ergonomically designed and ready to speed across your desk, ticket free. Powered by 2 AAA batteries, it has two buttons and a scroll wheel (which looks like a pop top engine), and comes in a choice of purple or black. Is it the sexiest mouse ever? Probably not. But it sure is a pretty cool peripheral for fans of sports cars. Available now for £19.95 ($40). — Andrew Dobrow

Illuminated Rubik’s Cube changes pattern to music

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

Cube_05_1.jpg

These damn Rubik’s cubes might be damn near impossible if you’re not an obsessive kid with a super high memory, but some very cool products and projects get created through this 80’s puzzle wonder. This Illuminated Cube displays 27 different patterns of multicolored lights, which light up to the pattern of the music you are listening to, via internal speakers.

The cube measures in at 110 mm all around (it is a cube after all) and weighs 150g. The lights and speakers fun off of 3 AAA batteries, which come included in the set. While these aren’t typically “professional” gear, they could be a nice start for any budding DJ or light show specialist. Or really just a neat little desktop gadget.

Its internal speaker is a 125mW x 2 channel 3.5mm audio producer which can’t produce that strong of a sound, but the flashing lights make up for it. These cubes are not for audiophiles so do not be surprised if you are unsatisfied with the sound. But if you likey blinking lights (no, likey is not a typo. It’s our attempt at cuteness) then check it out, available now for $51.54. — Andrew Dobrow

UV Disinfectant Wand for cleaning those invisible stains

Filed under: Household, Misc. Gadgets

uv_disinfectant.jpg

Ever seen one of those shows on the Discovery channel when they go into hotels or other grungy places and put on a UV light to illuminate all of the bodily made spittle? Yeah, ew. The UV Disinfectant Wand projects intense UV rays that kill 99.9% of all germs in less then 10 seconds. Since this is radiation we’re talking about here, you don’t want to use this thing consistently on any parts of your body or your potential to reproduce will most definitely be reduced.

At least the Wand is kind of cool looking. It opens in a clamshell flip phone like way so even the clean geek can still hold up his geekish cred. It’s been tested by laboratories nationwide so appears to do the job it says it does, and only runs on 2 AAA batteries. And definitely comes in handy when you have various nerds sneezing crap onto your keyboard everyday. — Andrew Dobrow
