The patented Jelfin mouse was all the rage this year at CES, garnering more attention from mass media outlets than most other products at the show. Unique to the Jelfin is not only its shape, but its flexible gel exterior. Aside from its appearance and feel, it’s a standard two button wheel mouse. Is it worth it? ThinkComputers checks it out.

Thanks to Jelfin’s Nick Pajic for graciously giving me a Jelfin mouse at the company’s CES booth.
