The Canon LS-100TKM Mouse, Calculator & Numeric Keypad

— June 14, 2008 — Tech
If you think the world is going convergence crazy, they you won't be surprised to see Canon's new multi-function mouse.

When I think of Canon, I think DSLR cameras and printers, not a computer mouse. Having said that, I would love to have this Canon LS-100TKM, and I bet any accountant would want one too.

Hailed as the “industry's first” mouse/calculator/keypad, what looks like a normal 1000dpi optical USB mouse actually flips open to reveal a full keypad and 10-digit LCD screen.

The Canon LS-100TKM will be available in Japan for about $32, in early July.
