Asus' new 'Fragrance Mouse' can be filled with oil to make your desk less stinky, but there has to be a better way

I think my office smells good. We light candles in my household, and despite a number of pets, the primary scent profile is "cozy prewar building wood grain" with undertones of sweet vanilla. But let's say you're a stinky boy, or at the very least need a little something more from your desktop, olfactory-wise. How about a mouse that works kind of okay as a mouse, while pulling double duty as an okay oil diffuser?

Enter the Asus Fragrance Mouse, which looks like one of those dinky single-battery Logitech deals but clad in a design language that⁠—and I say this with respect as a neutral observer of trends and culture⁠—screams "POV: You're a TikTok aesthetic girlie and this is your desk setup ASMR." Honestly, though, I'm into the look. The look is not the Fragrance Mouse's problem. If mice aren't allowed to look as good as the Logitech MX510 anymore, I wouldn't mind a performance, dare I say gaming-oriented clicker with a clean, unadorned, matte plastic look like this.
