    All-in-one. That’s my golden word. If you want to sell me something, make sure it can do ten completely random never-would-have-expected-it-to tasks, and I’m in. Three-in-one is only slightly less enticing, but still worth a good inspection. Canon today introduced its X Mark I Mouse Lite — a three-in-one calculator, keypad and laser mouse designed by the Canon camera team.

    This would be a nice addition to any office, and it doesn’t look half bad either. With three mouse buttons, including a scroll wheel, the Canon mouse has support for Bluetooth 2.01. The Canon X Mark I Mouse Lite comes in both black and white, and is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS X. The mouse also sports a little low battery indicator to make sure you stay charged.

    Canon is selling this alongside its X Mark I Keypad that doubles as a 10-digit semi-calculator. Both will go for an MSRP of $59.99. However, the X Mark I Mouse Lite will be available in August, whereas the keypad won’t show up until September.
