NES controller mouse: now you're pointing with power

We can't remember the last time we felt the pangs of gadget lust for something so utilitarian as a mouse. We know we've never wanted our mouse buttons to be more button-like and less flush with the surface of the device. This NES controller mouse is inspiring feelings in us we didn't even know we had -- as well as the quite familiar feeling of "loving NES controllers."

Too bad, then, that this mouse, the first to elicit an emotional response from us in recent memory, isn't real. It's a foam model made as a school project. Thanks a lot, brain. Try to like real things next time.
