Mold Your Mouse Like We Mold Your Mind

Filed under: Design, Peripherals

You don’t know it, but you are fully in our mind-bending control. Oh, the power! You might not be able to manipulate minds as well as us, but you can experience molding to some degree with the Lite-On conceptual Moldable Mouse, which lets you custom mold your own ergonomics.

Squeeze the Moldable Mouse into any shape you desire, or just keep squeezing it until it bursts. The choice is yours. Hell, it’s your money. Made with non-toxic, lightweight clay, covered with nylon and a polyurethane blend fabric, the mouse looks like it feels like a stress ball, except it actually maintains its shape. — Andrew Dobrow

Stance Angle Chair: Just plain weird ergonomics

Filed under: Household, Misc. Gadgets

This chair doesn’t look comfortable at all. In fact, if you didn’t know that it was made to improve ergonomics, you’d probably think it was some sort of torture device. But regardless of appearances, the Stand Angle Chair is designed to “improve” comfort, rather than torture. The Stand Angle Chair can be switched into a variety of positions, including the standing position, which is supposed to be optimal for blood flow, but would defeat the purpose of even owning the chair.

The Stand Angle Chair is very expensive. It will cost you $1200-1500. For that kind of dough, we can’t help but recommend saving your money, and just standing up on your own. Also, an accessory which is called a TaskMate, which is actually more like a needed item than an accessory, will put you in the whole for another $900. Completely overpriced in our view, but hey, is having optimal blood flow that important to you? — Andrew Dobrow

Homi USB eye and back protection

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

Being slouched in front of a computer all day causes disastrous effects on our eyes, necks, and backs, yet we hardly notice, or try to remedy it. We’ve even gone as far as lying to ourselves. “Oh, my lower back just hurts from sleeping on it wrong.” The Homi USB is placed at the top of your monitor and alerts you if you become closer then 60cm to the monitor.

The ultrasonic sensors notify you of your foul by chiming, ringing, and blinking LED’s (which can’t be too good for your eyes either, let alone your blood pressure). The Homi might be a bit of an eyesore, because let’s be frank, it’s pretty awkwardly ugly, but for only $27, the Homi promises to keep your ergonomics in check. — Andrew Dobrow
