This mouse looks like it would give electric shocks if you tried using it on shabbas- good thinking!
The development for these products came from the death of a Yeshiva student killed by a truck on the eve of Passover, his name was Yair Yakobovitch and he was twenty years old. I am still not sure how this inspired the creation of these KOSHER Gadgets, but it did and it's a sad story so I am include it/ you got a problem with that you can take it up with me. Okay not me, I am really not very strong. Anyways back to the meat of the story:
Halachic-technological revolution takes IDF by storm as it supplies troops, bases with Shabbat-friendly devices from telephones and keyboards, to sensor-activated doors and urinals.
This new technology was developed based on the Halachic concept of Grama, which means indirect action, and is constantly used in the defense and health establishments' life-saving routines.
"Situations which are clearly operational, or even uncertainly operation postpone Shabbat anyway. Therefore, these developments are meant only for the grey areas."
That's friggin sweet, gadgets that are Kosher for Shabbas, well I guess only in case of emergency. Now it comes full circle because Yair Yakobovitch was an emergency, and if only they had a way to get to him halacticly.
This totally reminds me of the "Bat-Phone"
