The gadget from Bogotech works by matching a person's fingerprint with a master copy that is scanned in on the machine.

As far as price goes, Neil Buckle, sales director for Belgravia Biometrics, who will distribute the equipment, said: "People expect the technology to be expensive, but the basic mouse will retail from £89.99 each."
