It’s hard to tell the niche market to whom this USB Waterproof mouse is geared at, is it the tech geek who tends to spill his Dasani bottled water over his home computer desk, or is it the shy nerd still in search for the cure for sweaty palms. In any case, USB Geek has available a USB waterproof mouse for $17.

Features of the optical wired mouse include:

* 5-Button USB Silicone Optical Scroll Mouse
* Mildew and water resistant
* 100% waterproof, washable and hygienic
* Made by high-quality silicone
* Soft-touch, soundless while using
* 800 dpi optical tracking
* Optical sensor stays precise on the most surface without mouse pad
* Compatible with Windows Vista/XP/2000/ME/98SE
* USB interface (USB to PS/2 adapter included)
* Dimension: 130 x 80 x 48mm
* Weight: 172g

If this waterproof mouse was available in a wireless model, I could see some real benefits that people in select niche markets would appreciate.
