Waterproof mouse soaks up serious sweat

I just can't get behind the concept of waterproof gadgets. An iPod Shuffle that you can submerge is kinda cool, but you still need waterproof headphones. Maybe you can use it in the shower with these speakers. But do you really need a waterproof mouse?

Your wallet says no, but USB Geek says yes. This five-button USB optical mouse is made with sealed silicone, making it completely waterproof. Despite how uncomfortable you feel about mixing water and lasers, USB Geek claims the optical sensor maintains precision on any surface. So in case you misplace your waterproof mouse pad, feel free to use that sea turtle's shell next time you're scuba diving and simply must check out what's new on CNET.

The mouse will also come in handy if you suffer from hyperhidrosis, no sweat. More pics after the jump.

That's not as wacky as it sounds. We're two geeks that met on the Internet, fell in love, and now have a Version 2.0 running around. She likes to throw stuff in the sink, the wading pool, the toilet. All I have to say is thank goodness for waterpoof devices and cell phone insurance.
