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.

Well it IS a little suspicious that there is no wire.
Even wireless mouses have an infra-red thingie on the front.
Or do they?

This thing SHOULD have a wire. A thick black one. And the USB plug should come out of something shaped like the plug for the NES controller.

We'll always have the SNES mouse.

It would be more awesome if the select and start buttons were scroll upwards / downwards.
