Still looking for a rodent that reflects your sense of style? Perhaps you'd be better served with a nostalgic shirt from 80stees.com, but if you really must make a fashion statement with your mouse, Microsoft might be able to oblige.
The Redmond software giant who also dabbles in hardware has added six new patterns to its Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 series. These rodents sport Microsoft's BlueTrack technology and come with a plug-and-go-nano transreceiver, as well as a rated 10-month battery life, but it's the graphics that are the real draw.
Patterns range from pink frilly patterns to a blue and black mouse with bug-eyed skulls on top. View the whole collection here, and then hit the jump and tell us what you think about the designs.

I wonder if they have fixed the wheel issue with these. When I bought my Asus Laptop, I baught two of those mice and an HP laptop for the wife. Once I got GRAW 2 and Warhead installled I ran into a problem. When I used the wheel to scroll thru my weapons, it wouldn't stop where I told it to. There was no CLICK to the wheel when u turned it. The wheel just spun really easy. There was no resistance to the wheel I guess. Cool part is I liked the recievers for those. Little bitty things. Still couldn't close the port covers on the Asus with it in tho. Anyway I wound up taking my MS mouse back and exchanging it for whatever Logitech had on the shelf at the time. Has I huge reciever that I hate but the wheel works like I expect it to. Also the laser is IR i believe. Invisible.
On a side note: CAPTCHA sucks balls. Spammers till get past it and it makes things harder on me. Wow. That sounds like every copyright scheme out there. Fucks everyone but the bootleggers. Hmmm. Damn thing puts SYMBOLS up. How do I type a symbol I can't even recognize?
