There are quite a few mini PC mouses coming out of Japan, but now Tokyo-based TEC is saying their Lingo, a wireless device, is the smallest of them all [JP]. The Lingo weighs only 23g and is sized at 27.5 × 60 × 19mm so the claim doesn’t sound too outrageous.

The 800dpi/2.4Ghz Lingo works within a range of usage of about 10m (battery life: about 15 hours). It goes on sale in Japan next month in black and white and costs $50.

People living outside Japan should try and ask the Japan Trend Shop, Gizmine or Geek Stuff 4 U to get one for them.
