I can barely deal with two buttons and a scroll-wheel without tying my fingers into knots. The OpenOfficeMouse is truly a monstrosity of a peripheral, featuring 18 programmable buttons.
I never would have suspected that one day I could own a mouse only navigable with a detailed map of its buttons.
The ultra-realistic mechanical tumor plugs into your computer, pulsating and growing as your computer works harder and harder.
I’m sure designer Mio I-zawa had a more significant symbolization in mind than my nausea can dictate at the moment, but for now all I can think of is not puking. Hit the jump for a super creepy tumor-filled video.
Apparently your mousepad is in dire need of a social life. And who are we to hold it back? The Twitter and Facebook Mousepads give your mouse and mousepad an outlet for social networking.
It’s about time the mouse showed the keyboard who’s in charge. The keyboard has been walking around with its nose up in the air for far too long. Grab your own for $18.
I’d like to share with you a bit of my childhood. After I bitched enough that SEGA Genesis wasn’t making the grade, my parents got me a Super Nintendo. A few years later, I would be in Babbages (remember those before GameStop bought ‘em out?) and spotted this Capcom Pad for the SNES for a mere $14.99. I bought it.
Apparently this controller is worth a little money nowadays if you have a sealed version. I don’t know why. It basically made it downright impossible to play some games. The only title I managed to sucessfully use it with happened to be F-Zero. Nonetheless, it still brings me back to the days of useless peripherals and 16-bit graphics.
See? This is what happens when you don’t believe me. You Wii owners must be really fucking excited by now. A vitality sensor add-on! It can measure your heartbeat! Guess what? You can do it without Nintendo’s overpriced hunk of plastic. Take two fingers, place on wrist, feel for pule – voila. I pity the fool who throws away their hard-earned money on this.
I’d be scared shitless to leave these Trypticon Transforming Laser Mouse gadgets alone. They could cause some serious damage if they aren’t properly supervised. Think about it. What if they see a tasty real life mouse skitter across your office floor. They are likely to snap their own cable as they pounce. That’s me for ya! Always one step ahead.
These 800 dpi laser mice are one of the coolest peripheral gadgets I’ve ever seen. I wonder if they work as mice when they are actually transformed.
Meet your new best friend, cheese puff. This keyboard may look like your standard run-of-the-mill nonsense found in schools and libraries across the nation but you’d be wrong. See, you can throw this fucker in a tub of water and let her rip. Clean your disgusting fingerprints off it so that they won’t slip during your next raid in World of Warcraft. Comprende?
Some people have weird needs. Don’t ask me why you would possibly need to type while completely submerged. I don’t think typing an essay will be at the top of your priority list if you’re either a.) swimming or b.) being flooded out of your home. But hey, to each his own.
If for some odd reason that you want to blog from the bathtub, just because why the hell not, the Devlin Electronics CleanKey keyboard is waterproof and fully submersible, even when it’s still plugged into a power source. We imagine it also works great if someone in your family has leprosy and you need to thoroughly need to clean the keyboard after each use. For extra protection, you can just wrap that shit in Seran Wrap.
I’m not sure how legal this mouse is, but it’s a pretty neat way to screw with your buddies. There is no mention of the actual voltage sent through the body of your unsuspecting victims and there’s probably a good reason why there isn’t, as this product is not recommended “for children under 14 years old, adults over 50 years old, or persons with any medical conditions.”
Yikes! Better read the disclaimer before planning grandpa’s April Fool’s Day joke. The best part? It’s only $5.99.
I’ve been a fan of the Drobo since the original debuted a few years ago. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it’s an external hard drive enclosure that hooks up to your PC or Mac via USB. You plug hot-swappable drives in and take them out without any sort of repercussions thanks to Drobo’s intelligent software.
Before, Drobo held four drives. Today, it holds 8, allowing for a theoretical 64TB of storage. No one has that kind of money or data but for the rest of us, it means fail-safe storage space. Don’t expect to net the Drobo Pro for cheap, however. Empty, it runs $1300 and with 4TB of drives, it’ll set you back $1850. Yikes!
