Behold, the essential oil diffusing 'fragrance mouse'
1 min read
Summary
The ASUS Fragrance Mouse is a wireless mouse that doubles as an essential oil diffuser, with a refillable vial for scent oils and ‘delicate underglow lighting’
The article questions whether the existence of the product suggests that there are no new ideas in the world of mice and that the company has had to resort to using existing ideas instead.
It asks Slack channel users for hypothetical new mouse ideas, and receives responses such as a mouse with a mouse’s tail, or a vertical mouse that changes into a normal mouse for precise FPS play.
The writer believes themself to be the target market for the Fragrance Mouse but thinks it represents an admission of defeat, and with a desk already occupied by a cat, has no use for the product.
