Genious has unveiled the new Genius Navigator 380, a 1200 dpi optical mouse/ VOIP / IM phone. We’ve seen a few cool VoIP mice in recent months, from the likes of Sony and Sysgration.

“While being used as a mouse, the closed clamshell handset can still ring or its LED will blink when someone is trying to reach you. It supports up to six instant messengers simultaneously in one window.”

This is the latest of mice to come aboard the “anti-bacterial bandwagon” this year. As we first saw the Elecom M-ABUR and then the Evergreen Pen Mouse, both of which have anti-bacterial surfaces.

The IOGEAR Germ Free Laser Mouse is coated with a Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Silver (Ag) nano-particle compound (they claim it neutralizes 99% of all bacteria and viruses on the mouse surface). The coating uses two mechanisms to deactivate enzymes and proteins to prevent a wide spectrum of bacteria, virus, fungi, and algae from surviving on the surface of the mouse. The mouse also uses “VCSEL” or Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser as the light source, providing 30x more tracking power than mice using an optical sensor. It’s wireless capability permits a wireless operating range of 6 feet.

We love the disclaimer on the IOGEAR site, letting us know that “This device cannot be used as antibiotic or anti-viral medication” and “Do not ingest the surface material of the device under any circumstances.” Also, “This device does not eliminate the entire universe of bacteria or viruses.”
