While you can’t exactly play hooky when working, this USB Eye Massager helps alleviate some of your working misery by providing much needed relief after staring for hours on end at the computer monitor. It looks a tad dangerous though, as the two fingers could actually be dangerous in the wrong hands. Choose from red, green,blue, and yellow colors. There are two speeds available with this cute gizmo - Low and High. I think I’ll stick to an ice cold beer instead of risk myself getting blinded in the process.

While there have been computer mice that include the functions of a numeric keypad in the past, Prezzy Box offers something different by taking out the numeric keypad while throwing in a calculator instead. A scroll wheel is located right above the LCD display, but one glance at this USB Mouse Calculator tells me that ergonomics isn’t at the top of the designer’s list.

If you’re interested in being different from the rest, the USB Mouse Calculator can be yours for £14.95.

Logitech has just unveiled the VX Nano wireless mouse that goes one up on its predecessor, the VX Revolution mouse by coming in an even smaller package. No longer do you need to worry about losing your RF adapter since the transmitter measures a mere 8mm when plugged into your USB port. In fact, there is also no risk of breaking the USB plug when the notebook is in your bag, unlike other standard sized RF adapters. Features include laser tracking, forward and back shortcuts, and a search button. You’ll need a couple of AAA batteries to power this bad boy though, and those definitely add to the weight. The Logitech VX Nano wireless mouse will ship late this August at $69.99 each.
