I realise that the days of the humble PC mouse are numbered in the shiny future but, in the meantime, the drive to make different ones can sometimes be intriguing. Take this Wireless Finger Mouse, operating on the 2.4GHz frequency, that lets you wear your mouse as a ring – a big ass ring – but still a ring.

The idea is that you operate the mouse while continuing to use the keyboard, removing the need to reduce your blistering typing rate by sacrificing one whole hand to move the silly cursor around the screen.

It’s around a third of the size of a normal mouse, has a rechargeable battery, comes with a wee USB receiver and the ring size can be adjusted to fit thin, regular and sausage-like digits. The key features are:

- Wireless, using radio frequency, absolute freedom!
- Compact: around 1/2 to 1/3 of conventional mouse.
- with 3 different ring sizes to fit for different people with different finger sizes
- High Resolution: 1000dpi
- Optical, making it working on all surfaces.
- USB Interface
- Powered by internal battery and rechargeable by USB (USB cable included)
- Plug-N-Play, no need for driver installation.
- Ergonomical design
- Long Working Distance: 15 meters

The range for use is around 15m, which means it could double up as presentation aid. With a price tag of around £14, it’s not the most expensive gadget ‘experiment’ you could invest in but might prove to be a bit of fun.-Martin Lynch
