Today, MacMice announces two new products to benefit the new other Red program for assisting orphans in Africa.
The Danger Mouse Red is a glaring red version of MacMice's Danger Mouse USB laser mouse, and includes the same 1,600dpi laser mechanism, time-proven shape, and MicroScroll scroll wheel encoder as the white and black versions of this popular mouse.
The GarageKey Red is a blinding red variation of this mini USB-MIDI desktop music keyboard. This newest version adds the bright red outer shell, Windows XP compatibility, and has its price lowered from $129.99 to $99.99.
The Danger Mouse Red is priced at $29.99 (with $3 going to other Red) and will begin shipping on November 21st, 2006. The GarageKey Red is priced at $99.99 (with $10 going to other Red) and will begin shipping on November 28th, 2006. Both products are available now for prepaid pre-order from our web site or from any MacMice retailer worldwide.
The Danger Mouse Red
The Danger Mouse Red is a USB 2-button 1,600 laser mouse with 10mm miniature clickable scroll wheel. It is plug-and-play compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows XP. This mouse is intended to be used with the OS-level drivers included with Mac OS X or Windows XP. There is no additional driver software provided by MacMice.
MacMice decided to take the most popular new USB laser mouse in the world, give it a bath in glossy red goodness, and send it out into the world where it can work some magic for some truly needy people in Africa. The Danger Mouse Red is MacMice's contribution to the other Red program. And, for every one of these crimson colored beauties we sell, MacMice will donate $3 to the Peace Village School & Orphanage in Kenya, Africa. We encourage you to read more about this terrific program on the other Red web site. Style. Comfort. Accuracy. Reliability.
The Danger Mouse starts by using the widely popular MacMice shape... the one everyone raves about being so comfortable to use [Editor's note: including me - it's the most comfortable cinventional mouse I've ever used. CM]. MacMice added a high-gloss red shell, an extended length USB cable to work with any desktop computer (Mac or Windows), and, their proprietary glide pads on the bottom to provide a silky mouse motion, with or without a mousepad. Also incorporated is the highest quality 1,600dpi laser pickup mechanism in the industry. And, we topped it off by using our new high-precision MicroScroll scroll wheel encoder. The result is a category defining mouse we are sure you will love. Use A Laser To Help Mankind
Using a modern laser pickup equiped mouse opens your eyes to the dramatic way a small technology change can improve your computing experience. Buying an other Red product, like our mouse or another other Red product will open your heart to the way a small change in business practices can help some deserving children in real need.
The MicroScroll miniature scrollwheel delivers the precision of an ultra-small scrollingdevice, but without the frustrations of a tiny trackball. It uses a 10mm diameter clickable, notchless design that provides smoothly gliding, highly precise operation, and a silky smooth feel.

The other Red program
Nice Products. Nicer Cause.
Your Purchase Helps Orphans In Africa
other Red is a private program that helps small manufacturers around the world market specific products that are tied to a donation of 10% of the retail price to helping orphaned children in Kenya, Africa. We are a small operation, geared around small companies, making small products, all intended to help a very worthwhile project in a very big way. Why We Are Doing This
We were inspired and touched by the wonderful goodwill being generated by the (product) RED project for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. We admire and encourage all to participate in this worthy cause by purchasing (product) RED products. The (product) RED project includes a variety of the world's largest iconic brands and thus has the potential to raise millions of dollars for a worthy cause with only a few selected products. But what about all the smaller brands around the world who are also eager to help? We decided to organize an alternative red product project for a worthy cause that is open to even the smallest brands who want to help make the world a better place. No Big Name Celebrities
The only celebrities associated with other Red are the tireless staff growing a well-run orphan care operation in Kenya, and of course, the brave little youngsters they serve each day. Peace Village School & Orphanage
Peace Village School & Orphanage is an eager, well-managed charitable operation located in Ukunda, Kenya... with big hearts, big talent, and big plans for growth. The organization supports orphaned children in and around the Kwale Province/South Coast area of Kenya, and specifically seeks to help AIDS orphans and other deprived children in the area.
