hand grenade mouse mod: don’t pull the pin!
technabob —
I don’t know if I’d feel really comfortable putting my hand on this mouse, given the fact that it started its life as a device designed to blow off limbs.
Still, assuming the explosives have been thoroughly scrubbed from the innards of the old grenade casing, I suppose you’d look mighty macho controlling your computer with one of these bad boys. The guy who modded this one even went through the extra effort to wire up the trigger as the left mouse button.
It sure doesn’t look ergonomically friendly, but should you really expect comfort from a hand grenade anyway?

Grenade Mouse: If Rambo Used a Computer [Mouse]

... When your pasty, sweaty hand is gripping this instrument of death turned into a cuddly gadget, enduring the minor misery in your lower arm caused its frankly horrifying ergonomics, you'll feel like a badass. You totally won't be, but for that brief second, it's not like anyone could tell you any differently. Except for you know, Rambo, who would punch your heart out. [Modding.ru via ...
The Grenade Mouse: uncomfortably similar in appearance to all your other desktop grenades
Boing Boing Gadgets —
Oh, sure, you like the grenade mouse now: a bottom-of-the-electronics-tub Targus slapped into the ridged, turtle-like shell of some pin-plucked ordnance. But what happens when you mistake it for any one of the other live grenades rolling around your computer desk? You'll be able to visualize the lingering shreds of your excitement upon the charred, cracked bone shards splaying from the smoking flesh ball of what was once your dominant hand.

The Hand Grenade Mouse Mod
Coolest Gadgets —
If you’ve been feeling like your computer setup isn’t nearly intimidating enough, a hand grenade would probably be more than enough to make it seem more intense. After all that online gaming, you need to feel all powerful behind your computer. A wicked looking case and a glowing keyboard aren’t always enough. Although, gaming mouses do have all those fancy extra buttons, they just aren’t nearly cool enough. No, the world needs hand grenade mouses for all.
There aren’t a ton of details on the mouse itself, but it was a mod job which was posted online here by the modders. The mouse is ...
Grenade Mouse Will Impress/Scare the Hell out of Friends
Wired: Gadget Lab —
Don't bring this computer mouse with you to an airport.
This ballsy mod doesn't just look like a lethal grenade; it actually used to be one. Its brave inventor dissected a grenade, scooped out its explosive innards and replaced them with the wiring of a computer mouse. He even wired the trigger to function as a left-click button.
It'd be even cooler if he were able to make a mouse out of an active grenade, so it could double as a "self-defense" tool and a computer peripheral at the same time. All the rage is about compartmentalization, right?

Pull The Pin, Throw The Mouse
OhGizmo! —
By Luke Anderson
When using a grenade, there are two very simple steps to follow. Unfortunately, if you mix up the steps and end up throwing the pin, it very well may be the last thing you do. Fortunately with this Hand Grenade Mouse, you don’t have to worry about blowing your arm off.
It seems that someone got a brilliant idea whilst wandering through their local surplus Army supply shop. When you think about it, many mice have a similar shape to that of your average hand grenade. So the intrepid modder sliced up the grenade, tossed in the guts of an old optical mouse, and came out with a cool looking input ...
