Behold, the essential oil diffusing 'fragrance mouse'

"The feline is the fragrance, Nic," Ollie erstwhile told maine erstwhile I asked the RPS Slack transmission for alternatives to my indispensable lipid diffuser, which I tin nary longer usage for fearfulness of my feline getting vanilla scurvy oregon lavender botulism oregon immoderate else. I contemplated those words past nighttime erstwhile she pounced into furniture with me, curled up, and serenaded maine to slumber with a briney fart. I remembered them again this greeting erstwhile I learned of the ASUS Fragrance Mouse (thanks, Percy Gamer.)

The rodent is ergonomic, wireless, and comes successful plain oregon pinkish ("Iridescent White oregon Rose Clay"). Its innards location a refillable vial for scent oils. It features "delicate underglow lighting," a merchantability that would beryllium easier to marque amusive of if astir gaming hardware wasn't illuminated by a prime of either vigor portion piss greenish oregon antiseptic gel blue.

Would I usage this if I hadn't a cat? Silly question. I would instantly root a cat. Ah, but what if she was theoretically immune to indispensable oils and besides not sick of being utilized successful unsafe hypotheticals arsenic I presume each cats are by now?

A inclination toward anxious agoraphobia has made maine idiosyncratic who spends a batch clip cultivating vibes. I would task that I ain much fairy lights, houseplants, IDM playlists and tiny lamps shaped similar mushrooms than astir radical who don't besides usage Instagram. I owned some a scent diffuser and an apocalypse bunker's worthy of Nag Champa earlier my cat's accomplishment meant I had to halt utilizing them. I am, connected paper, the nonstop genre of people that should autumn for this.

And yet, I cannot assistance but presumption it arsenic an admittance of defeat. As PC Gamer deftly note, the fragrance rodent is "the archetypal improvement successful rodent I've seen successful immoderate clip that wasn't conscionable 'more button". Its precise beingness feels similar a thwarted admittance that determination are nary caller ideas near successful the satellite (of mice) and frankincense ASUS person resorted to conscionable shoving successful things that already beryllium and, I indispensable assume, are overmuch much suited for the task erstwhile they don't besides person to combat for abstraction with rodent brains.

Why, if we're conscionable doing that, I stake I could root respective amended ideas from the morass of Monday greeting ennui that is the RPS Slack successful little than 5 minutes.

"A rodent encased successful a magic shot that someway attaches itself firmly to immoderate surface, including your ain leg, truthful that you tin wield it dexterously capable to play an FPS without needing a desk," says Edwin.

"A rodent with a mouse's tail; it's reasonably unobtrusive astir of the clip but it sometimes displays excitement oregon affection, wrapping itself astir your wrist oregon wagging similar a dog's erstwhile you sound idiosyncratic successful Apex," suggests Ollie.

"A vertical rodent for enactment that changes into a mean rodent erstwhile you privation to play a precise FPS. A Transformer mouse," adds Brendy.

"A rodent with a pencil sharpener successful it. Just for the irony", says James.

Me? Idk. A…toaster? Little tiny toaster? Makes you small tiny bits of toast that you tin nibble connected to marque you consciousness amended astir burning your fingers connected your anserine toaster mouse?

I bash not hatred the fragrance mouse. Benign bewilderment is an entertaining emotion. However, my table lone has country for 1 scent.
