Keypad Mouse Combo

[Gben 20]

I just saw this mouse while browsing in a computer store today. Neato.

 

The 19 Key USB Numeric Keypad and Optical Mouse offers desktop and notebook users an instant benefit of a full-sized, external numeric keypad in a compact form. You will not worry to install drivers as it uses USB Plug-and-Play technology. It functions as a numeric keypad and as an optical mouse it features a wide flip top transparent cover for the keypad and additional scroll wheel for easy web navigation. It is innovative and portable, definitely designed for mobile professionals.

 

Finally a practical add-on for the smaller laptops! Reminded me of Luk3us' old purty mouse thread.

I wonder how it would perform in games like CS and Quake

Quite nifty for school or buisness purposes though. Can the numpads be costumized for RPG purposes and such?

I guess you need to be an accountant or other bean-counter to appreciate the beauty of keypad in your mouse...

The first one could be useful, the second one is stupid with the plastic cover.

 

Its a good idea though.

Interesting although the shape seems wonky.

I doubt this intended for gamers.

Yeah the cover is dumb, it just needs an activation key on the mouse, with no cover.

It's a good concept, perhaps in a couple of years they will have streamlined the design.

 

(Gaming pad... heh... they could just replace it with predictive text functions like your old mobile phone, and make the keyboard obsolute! Hahaha!)

[Luk3us 63]

Predictive text is so horrible though.

[Gben 20]

HAHA - that's the point!

What about Razer Naga?

 

[Luk3us 63]

lol, no doubt that thing is expensive too, even if it is so very ugly.

I'd be ideal for MMO games if the buttons where programmable.

Actually such mice may bring advantage in C&C TW/KW/RA3 competitive tournaments. You can assign those keys as the sidebar bottons, or something like that.
