Coffee in ur mouse

Two things we always have in front of us in the workplace are a mouse and a cup of coffee. Why not, the logic goes, combine the two and get the MugMouse? It only sounds completely unreasonable.

Untill this interaction designer, Louise Wictoria Klinker comes up with the MugMouse.

It´s just much slower. When filled with tea or coffee, the mug needs to be moved more carefully than a normal mouse. Working on the computer deserves a bit more time, reflection or personal involvement. MugMouse is in fact a reward: not only can you take a sip at your mouse but it acts as a signal to yourself and to others that you´re having a little more time away from work.

Part of SLOWEB, a project that rethinks the way people work at computer and introduces slowness in the life of hectic people.

Now there was someone wondering it would be cool if the MugMouse can keep ur coffee hot by using power through the USB port it has!
