Your entire PC could soon be a mouse

Your entire PC in a mouse

A project is underway to turn an ordinary peripheral into a full-on PC

Really! Try moving that mouse around with HDMI cable, and portable hard disk connected.

Those hockey puck PCs are more realiatic

 

[Lament]

This is the dumbest idea i have ever heard.
They should rather try and build the computer inside the keyboard, at least it does not move that much and has much more space for ports.

I have seen too many gamers smash their mice on the desk out of pure PC frustration. This is not a good idea imo

This is definitely not aimed at any gamer.

A mouse chord can get in the way as it is, can't imagine one with three.

Wireless HDMI and USB is already there. So why not take it a step further.

 

[Petec]

Arhmahgawd! Brilliant idea, but a bit naffy execution. Cables sux

 

[Necropolis]

Biggest issue with this is the HDMI cable - those are the least flexible cables around.

Q. My mouse seems to be getting a bit hot.
A. Try reducing the number of applications you have open.

That sneaky bugger checking facebook his own computer at work!

Cloudgate should build mouse buttons and a tracker into their machine and end up with the same solution.

But can it run Crysis?

 

[elvis_presley]

They put a Raspberry Pi in to a Mouse. This changes everything!

Or they can try and build the computer into the monitor. Oh wait.. someone did that already

Going full circle?

As a practical idea I don't see this working..

Shrinking most PCs to this size of unit is already happening and will keep picking up pace if you ask me.
