Belkin's submersible mouse. Give it a bath. Dip it in beer if you want

I can't remember the last time I used a mouse. But I know enough people who do and they can get pretty dirty after a lot of usage.  Imagine if you could give your mouse a bath and regularly keep it grime free? While cruising the gadgetry at Digital Experience tonight, I bumped into Caroline McCarthy, ace reporter at ZDNet's sister organization News.com (lucky her, she's on the iPhone beat) and asked her if she saw anything that caught her eye and her first answer was Belkin's liquid-proof mouse (located just a few tables away from Casio's completely submersible cell phone.... don't worry, video coming).

So, she and I headed over to Belkin's exhibit at Digital Experience to check the $29.99 mouse out and, well, she didn't waste any time dipping the mouse in my beer. At first, I was more concerned about the impact on my beer. But then I came to my senses. What happened to the technology? Check out the video.
