Combimouse, a crossbred of keyboard and mouse looks pretty strange to say the least. On the one hand we have a patented and award winning design and on the other hand we have the users who will surely think twice before they give this a try. Let us see how this works. You can type normally and once you need to use the mouse you use your right hand to touch a certain spot on the right unit to activate mouse mode. This means there is no way to hit the keys accidentally while using mouse mode or move the cursor while typing.
It actually does not look that bad in motion, take a look at this presentation video to get an idea how combimouse works. It still seems to be kinda awkward to move the right unit as a mouse especially when you consider that some keys on the right unit function as mouse buttons when in mouse mode. Would you consider buying this ?

it really interesting. but i will not buy it coz it looks wierd.
Looks like a great product…Maybe a better review can be written once we have actually felt the experience of using this mouse..
I would consider it, but there are times when it’s nice to use the mouse AND the right half of the keyboard. It’s a good idea, because sometimes I get frustrated switching between the mouse and keyboard. But, one thing I noticed, right off, is that this is set up for righty’s only. I can use the mouse just as well, with my right hand, as I do my left, but if I were playing a first person shooter(being left-handed) I would want a different setup. Still I looks wicked and I might just buy it because of that. :)
