Blow up your mouse

Some cool young Korean designers have come up with what may be the ultimate in compact travel computer gear – an inflatable mouse.

According to Yanko Design, the only part of the mouse that is hard is a small and flexible electronic circuitry board that contains the laser tracker and the USB cable to attach it to the computer. The body of the mouse is an appropriately shaped plastic bag that sits flat until needed, when a few quick puffs inflates it to useable size.

The mouse isn’t on the market yet, but it’s such a cool idea it’s surely just a matter of time.
