Diamante Mouse is Diamond Studded and Stupid

Give someone a glue-gun and some rhinestones and you never know what you’ll get these days. The Diamante Mouse is a good example of just such wasted glue and rhinestones. This standard USB mouse is not ergonomic but it is studded with “dazzling white, fake diamonds” um ok…how dazzling… but it certainly doesn’t look very comfortable to use in fact the heat from your hand would probably cause some of those “white diamonds” to end up on the palm of your hand. Call me harsh, but I think £27.99 is a little outrageous for something I can pay $15 bucks for between the mouse and supplies at a craft store.
