Hanwang Tablet Mouse
Hoping to come to the rescue of Chinese and others whose languages often make typing difficult, Hanwang has unveiled its handwriting mouse. Its body is carved out to reveal a tablet specifically tailored for writing characters; in its current design, the mouse is set up to recognize and transmit Mandarin characters drawn on the mouse using a stylus that hides in a small compartment when not in use.
The mouse is otherwise completely functional as a three-button scroll mouse and ships in any one of five colors in its native China. Pricing and availability aren't readily available. [ PC Launches]
