Just posted these in the mouse recommendation thread but I thought I'd ask if anyone else had come across some mad/appalling designs in other fields of human endeavour?

This is called The Brain Mouse... But looks suspiciously like another part of anatomy not that close to the brain.

Then there is this wonder of ergonomic design.

What wonders of design have you lot come across in the 'net or irl?

Lol, sort of like the basketball mouse. Sort of.

To clarify, anyone finding a design monstrosity, it doesn't have to be just mice. I'm sure we can hate on anything, not just bad mice! Lol

Home owner: I want to break both my arms, and both my legs, and possibly break my neck:

Designer: Say no more! I got this!

Floating stairs genuinely scare me. Just looking at them gives me thoughts of a family member snapping a limb. Just a mad design idea. I can manage to fall down (and up) a standard staircase with alarming regularity.

I like how the person using those stairs has even taken their shoes off to ensure maximum sock slippage and increasing their chances of a certain death!

Imagines Funkmaster falling down an up escalator forever.

Salaryman eraser that loses his hair as you use him. Maybe better double post this one on the midlife crisis thread.

Got given my order from Tim Hortons in a 'three item bag' which lists on the bottom examples of 'three items'

Nothing to add here but there are some excellent examples. That Raiders candle is brilliant.

Well if we're talking about horrible designs for a computer mouse then there's the Ambra mouse:

The Ambra Mouse

Or how about the Star Trek It's a Mouse?

It's a Mouse

That reminds me of the implant in my cock.

Not in a good way

Talking of implants in cocks... Just saw this on social media:

It's a (dangerously) modified suspension seatpost. The reel ended with the legend "send this to a friend who needs it".

Yeah I don't have any friends I dislike that much!

I am buying one!

My first thought on seeing that floating staircase was needing socks with grippy soles, and a phone at the top, middle and bottom, for quick access to emergency services.
That Ambra mouse has my carpal tunnel issue aching just looking at it! My studio manager at a former job had one of the Mac ‘hockey puck’ mice, and my hand hurt just looking at the damn thing, and that’s long before I was doing the job that has actually caused the damage I have now. Horrid thing! 😖

I do love the Raiders candle, though! That’s just a wonderful thing, and I want one! Actually two, there’s someone I know would love it. 🤣
