Thanko's Speaker Mouse Puts Plastic-y Music in the Palm of Your Hand

by Ben Deitz on March 2, 2010 at 03:35 PM

Serious audiophiles know that music truly sounds its best when muffled by the palm of your sweaty hand as you navigate through your work day. Thanks to Japanese manufacturer Thanko and its newly announced mouse with an integrated speaker, we can listen to tinny tunes without having to clutter our desks with speakers or headphones. Thanko's mouse also includes a microphone, allowing us to relive one of our favorite scenes from 'Star Trek IV.'

The speaker mouse is a great addition to its already revolutionary line of products, including the USB ashtray, USB mouth camera, USB butt cooler, and plenty more patently unnecessary devices. We don't envy the janitors at Thanko's corporate HQ who have to clean up after the company's idea men, who clearly come from the "throw a bunch of junk at the wall and see what sticks" school of design.
