It isn?t often that Register Hardware gets the opportunity to say just how much a product really sucks, so this time we?re going to milk it. Japanese gadget specialist Thanko has created a mouse that?s also a minature vacuum cleaner.

Built into the 62 x 115 x 40mm mouse is a dinky vac that sucks up crumbs, dust and fingernail clippings through a small hole in the rodent's base. Becuase the mouse is much smaller than a regular vaccum, Register Hardware doesn?t imagine that you?ll be able to collect much grime at a time, but at least it lets you multi-task by sucking while you work.
Thanko's mouse looks pretty normal, until...

...you lift its lid to reveal a vacuum cleaner's innards



A small filter is built into the wrist-end of the mouse, which should make emptying the mouse?s contents a breeze, whilst a switch on one side lets you switch the vacuum on and off.
Powered through a USB 1.1 connection, the mouse also has the two standard buttons and a scroll wheel. It?s got a sensitivity of 800dpi.
If you want to start cleaning up your act, then the vacuum cleaner mouse is available through online retailer Geekstuff4you for around $30 (?15/?22). Attachments are sold separately...
