If you've ever used a cordless optical mouse, you'll know it's a great invention. It unclutters your desk, there's no cable or mousepad, you can use it anywhere on the desk. Some mice will even work from the other end of the room. So far so good.
Now a company called Dicota claims to have gone one better. I wish I was making this up, but it's true.
They are marketing a cordlesss mouse which only works while it's on top of its USB-connected electromagnetic mousepad. Someone should tell these people. It's not cordless if it needs a corded pad, and it clutters the desktop even worse than a corded mouse.
