If spicing up your mouse, spices up your life then Microsoft is hoping that its latest mice revamp will keep you tickled pink, or green, or...you get the idea.

The company has just taken the spray can to its best-selling Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 so you'll soon be able to get the mouse in:

Pomegranate (red)
Dragon fruit (dark pink)
Aloe (green)
Milk chocolate (brown)
Creme brulee (khaki)

“Buying a tech product these days is a declaration of personal style, and these special edition mice allow consumers to make the ultimate statement,” said Sean Butterworth, product marketing manager for Microsoft Hardware.

And that statement would be that I’ve just spent money replacing a perfectly good wireless mouse for one called 'Dragon Fruit'.

In tech terms, the mouse uses the Microsoft Intelligent Tracking System to deliver 1,000dpi and 6,000 frames per second, while the snap-in receiver conserves battery power by turning off the power when it’s attached to the mouse.

Out next month in the US first for around £15.-Martin Lynch
