A Silicon Valley company has hailed as a major landmark the production of their one billionth computer mouse.

Logitech's description comes at a time when analysts claim the days of the mouse are numbered.

"It's rare in human history that a billionth of anything has been shipped by one company," said Logitech's general manager Rory Dooley.

"Look at any other industry and it has never happened. This is a significant milestone," he told the BBC.

But sounding the death knell for the device is Gartner analyst Steve Prentice who said "the mouse will no longer be mainstream in three to five years."

However he did acknowledge the manufacture of the one billionth mouse was a "tremendous achievement."

GG Logitech!

They also make the MX1000, which is widely recognised as they best mouse money can buy.

Discuss.

Yes, and I think a combination of mouse + touch is retarded also. I mean you could move your hand between the two, but you can do it all from your mouse...

I can see the application in things like phones and tablets, but full time PC's? Nup.

But the billionth paper clip from one company?

Also, everything you listed comes in bunches.

The mouse will be around for a little while yet... as a graphic designer I find designing with the trackpad an absolute nightmare.

He says it has never happened in any industry, any product. I beg to differ.

Oh, and not to say that Logitech doesn't ship ridiculous amounts of mice to OEMs, office buildings, data centers, school districts, etc.
