Open Source Design and the OpenOfficeMouse

Is complexity (and wearing this on the outside) an inherit part of open source design? FactoryJoe compares the OpenOfficeMouse (a mouse with 18 programmable buttons and even an analogue joystick) and the Apple Magic Mouse-“To me, the OpenOfficeMouse seems like such a typical product from the open source community. [Kroc: I honestly believed the OpenOfficeMouse to be a very clever satirical joke, the irony that it isn’t suspends belief]
