Fools Gold?
Fools Gold?

Because we're musical magpies, we like gold things: a gold drum pedal, a gold-plated synth, and now, finally, a worthy attachment for the Pure*Gold PC: the Gold Bullion mouse.

It's a USB-powered, wireless rodent with standard controls. Unfortunately, as its seller iwantoneofthose says: "despite all appearances the mouse is NOT made out of gold." Hence the £24.99 price tag.

Whatever, until someone makes a real one, it'll have to do. Why not buy one and browse 12 credit crunch-destroying ways to make music, you cheapskates. Only kidding…
