A waterproof optical mouse? We sure could have used that yesterday, when an ill-advised attempt to cram a wide Airborne pill into a narrow-necked water bottle led to some unintentional splashing and a malfunctioning mouse.
The iKey AquaPoint USB mouse (PS/2 version also available) is designed for harsh industrial environments, like factories and maybe water parks, so a little spilled Poland Spring should be no problem. Fans are popping up all over the blogosphere, so maybe high-tech beverage mishaps are more common than we thought.
