A combo USB storage mouse for pack rats

If you're working on those hoarding issues but still can't quite bear to go cold turkey without a USB storage key at all times, then maybe this is a compromise on the way to recovery.

Asus has created a mouse that doubles as a flash drive so you can maintain your pack-rat tendencies with no one being the wiser. The MS71 is a wireless mouse that has a detachable dongle that acts as a USB transmitter when it's not being used for the storage half of the equation, according to Everything USB.

As a mouse, it certainly doesn't look like the most comfortable to use, not unlike other exceptionally small models we've seen. Then again, a lot of people swear by MoGo's anorexic version, so we'll withhold judgment.
