Do you have a painful obsessive compulsive disorder that precludes you from touching anything that hasn't been properly sanitized? Whether your problem is psychological or physical, the Belkin Washable Mouse - available for around £16 - is the perfect solution.
Stick it under a tap and you can clean it with ease. With an ipod-style touch-wheel, a sensitive sensor and a nifty brown matte finish, it's a rather good mouse in its own right, too.

Indeed such is the clarity and authority of writing, Understanding New Attacks and Defences will be worth keeping on your bookshelf as a historical reference too for a bargain £24.99.
