"Finally, a mouse just for you. Thanks to the folks at Lite-On, you'll never have to suffer the debilitating discomfort of an unshapely mouse ever again. The Moldable Mouse will make all your bad memories of ill-fitting input devices float away, using a lightweight modeling clay combined with a nylon and polyurethane fabric to make up its surface. Once you're palming your new best friend, you can shape its contours to whatever form you desire, though we're pretty sure making a perfect cube will present a challenge. The "stick-on" buttons and scroll-wheel can be added to any location you like, and communicate via RFID. The thing won a Red Dot design award and everything... but coming soon? Probably not."

Once you're palming your new best friend,

Is it just me or does that line sound particularly dodgy?

Great idea, you could have a stress toy as well as a mouse! But how do those 'moveable' buttons work?
