Not every product thought up by your favorite electronics companies make it into the market. Many are halted somewhere in the development process and are scrapped in favor of a better design or perhaps because they’re not viable products enough to begin with.
Logitech, manufacturer of computer peripherals, revealed a list of mice that never left their laboratories. Some of the mice are outrageous, others curious, and still others were ordinary mice equipped with a feature that Logitech deemed not feasible for practical use after all (i.e., the mouse with a joystick pictured above). There’s one mouse with not one, but THREE scroll wheels, another with a dial control, and one with an air tunnel to cool sweaty hands which Logitech described as “too niche.” The last one I mentioned made me actually laugh out loud because there’s already one in existence, created by Thanko, a Japanese gadget maker known for its quirky devices.
