10 Daily Things

Old school gamers love the nostalgic feeling from playing games of the 80s and 90s, even in emulated mode with the state-of-the art gaming mouse and keyboard on a duo-core computer. Obviously, a few of us would go as far as bidding for an original Atari console, but at least we can now get a controller that the mimics the feel of the classic joystick.

Compatible with virtually any emulators whether they be Mame, Daphne, or Stella, the aptly-named Legacy USB joystick looks exactly like an Atari controller from the 80s (or is it 70s?), but ressurected in the 21st century, it interfaces with a PC/Mac/Linux with USB. The Legacy however comes merely with a single button. Luckily, the circuit board provides an 10 internal contact points for wiring up to the same amount of additional fire buttons. If a $400 Wii is out of your budget for this year Christmas holiday, then maybe get yourself a $14.99 Legacy USB joystick along with free ROMs floating on the Internet.

Road Warriors that do lots of number crunching know that entering numbers on a laptop is not conductive for productivity. You can take an external keyboard with you, but if it is big enough to have a number pad, it’s probably not that portable. A new mouse called the EzKey aims to make number crunching much easier and more portable.

The device is a combo of a normal mouse and a keypad, flip up the clear plastic cover and you have a number pad to use when entering numerical data flip it down and you have your mouse again. It doesn’t look like the most ergonomic mouse in the world and there is no word on the sensitivity of the mouse or what type of sensor it uses. Pricing and availability information are unknown at this time.
