Ok, I know I'm not the only person who saw the Optimus keyboard with the customisable keys, and that I'm not the only one who saw the notice for some 'exciting news' on February 1st.
But then they went and released this: the Optimus mini three keyboard (see this Engadget article if the main site is slow).
It's a three button keypad. Three incredibly neat animated buttons, but still, just three. What can you do with three buttons on a peripheral device, when I've got a mouse right here with five customisable buttons?

It's that time of the year again - today is Leela's birthday! We have just had pain au chocolates, followed by thorntons and tropicana - every breakfast should be that good. She has also unwrapped her cards and first wave of presents - the ones from me, and she appears pleased, always good.
