Air-con mouse

Must admit sweaty palms isn’t something we are particularly prone to (maybe after the odd marathon sesh of Championship Manager), but if we were we’d be cock-a-hoop at the arrival of the world’s first PC mouse with an integrated air-conditioning system.

The Air-Flo Mouse, £29.95 from Boys Stuff, apparently features an internal fan that makes your hands feel cool and fresh without feeling too cold.

The makers claim that the Air-Flo is much more than a novelty too. It is an 850dpi optical mouse with rubberised grips and ergonomic shape makes it comfortable to use and easy to control.

Might prove handy for that week in August that constitutes British summer time.
