The worst part is the mouse is really ugly. I can see spending $1200 for any part of a computer, because we all do it anyway. Whether it be several hundred on a processor, or a case, or a video card, it's depreciating fast the moment you buy it. I've spent $400 on cases without even blinking, so a mouse that would last me the rest of my life for $1200 wouldn't be so bad, if I loved it. The same for the perfect keyboard. Things I interface with are more important to me than a processor, since I rarely touch the processor, and when I do, the fan makes it unpleasant.
But, this thing is ugly. I don't want it at any price. Titanium is a really cool metal, and extremely useful, but it's not particularly pretty, nor is the shape. A stunning one made out of platinum, or gold, with a pleasing shape might do it. It wouldn't sell to a lot of people, but these products don't have to. But, this thing is just ugly. Why would anyone want it even if it were selling for half, ooops, 1/100 of the price?
