Why have a boring mouse when there are so many better functioning, better looking options? Mouse designs and concept mouse designs often are overlooked when we might be wanting a new computer accessory. Here we've collect 17 of the most outrageous and mind-boggling mouse designs.
iTit Optical Wireless mouse

We are not too sure how well iTit will be able to blend in an office setting.
G-Point: The G-Spot Mouse
This concept is the G Point Mouse, but has also been referred to as the G-spot since this mouse has a very special "secret spot" that can make things happen quickly.

This concept design may not see the inside of corporate buildings any time soon either.
