Its stainless steel, measuring 2.25" by 2.7", is revealed by removing the mouse cover. The scale can operate independently with an internal USB rechargeable battery, and weight readings are incremented by 0.1g, 0.005 oz., 0.005 ozt., or 0.1 dwt. And American Weigh wants $59.95 for this. ...

... shell. This integrated weighing scale is made from stainless steel and measures 2.25″ x 2.7″. What makes it interesting is it is able to operate independently courtesy of its internal USB rechargeable battery. Weight readings are read in increments of 0.1g, 0.005 oz., 0.005 ozt., or 0.1 dwt. Guess it is now time to play the part of a coke dealer in the office, eh? Small price to pay then considering American Weigh is asking for $59.95 for the MSC-500 Mouse Scale.

... weighing the mail, dividing up cocaine – but not many of those, except the rather illegal latter, needs to be done on the go. No matter how hard we try, we can't come up with any real use for this overpriced piece of junk. Other than the drug angle, of course, which might explain the 0.1 gram (0.004 ounce) sensitivity.

Mouse Scale Is Perfect For The Cubicle Drug Dealer
OhGizmo! —
... the average person would do with such a scale at their computer, unless maybe they do a lot of shipping, and their items are rather small. I also suppose that if you’re selling drugs, it might be quite useful to have a small, easily-hidden scale at your desk. Whatever it is you happen to need it for, the MSC-500 Mouse Scale can measure in 0.1g, 0.005 oz., 0.005ozt., and 0.1 dwt increments. If this sort of thing is up your alley, it’ll set you back a salty $60.
