A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
The price?
The price? Everything you hold dear. The clear plastic cover doubles as a shovel to scoop out your soul.
Damnit, now I want icecream. Filthy satan-spawn keypadmouse!
Why don't they just add a fingerprint reader at that scroll wheel while their at it?
LOL. Fck it, go ahead and install some speakers too! lol
As a laptop user who doesn't get on well with the touch pad, and misses the convenience of a numeric pad, this is a realy good idea.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a decent mouse for laptops?
Lack of numpad in laptops makes Excel annoying. Mouse and numpad in one is not a bad idea. It even comes with the triple zeros for your million dollar enterprise!
If only it included fingerprint scanner, trackpad, and speakers....
Awesome, Just needs to be bluetooth and a voip phone
Actually, I was thinking this would be a really great gift for my mom. She still has one of those smaller laptops without the numeric keypad, but plugging one in when she needs it is always so tedious. This way it'd already be plugged in.
Erm, 'still' has one of those laptops without a numeric keypad? I think you'll find that brand spanking new ones don't have them either - bar hulking great desktop replacements.
Awesome for laptop users
If it wasn't so butt ugly it might be kinda cool for lappie users. Just make it wireless, preferably bluetooth (which companies never do, you'd think they would make more decent bluetooth mice (Mighty Mouse doesn't count) with the proliferation of bluetooth on most laptops, who really wants a dongle hanging off and potentially damaging a usb port?)
Actually, I'm sure I've seen this on Engadget Chinese before...

They even have a keyboard with a slide-out keypad!
Innovate or die! 5 stars
I must admit that I would buy it by any price if it provided the following recommended specs:
-Fingerprint scanner
-Trackpad
-Speakers
-Bluetooth
-Voip phone
-LightSaber (So that I could cut my father's hand during some powerpoint presentations)
Heck with all that stuff. What it really needs is a fragrance oil burner.

I have to get one with a triple-zero button.
Oh man! What will they think of next? Some sort of mouse/keyboard/COMPUTER combo that is all combined in one foldable case and can sit on your lap? ;)
"you're either a 1 or a 0... alive or dead"
Likeable
me as a CAD user i'd love this. any way to minimize the time it takes to type in dimensions and keep trimming away milliseconds of time to perform a command would be awesome.
me wants.
If these were cheap I'd actually consider getting one. Bonus points if lifting the clear cover somehow makes the keypad less prone to sliding.
make it wireless and we've got a deal...
Look ma, it's a mouse with a George Forman grill!
I agree it'd be great for laptops... Not to mention useful next time you want to play Star Trek (with the kids, of course!)
you know thats a great product for someone with one hand like me for gaming with if they tweeked it alittle more to get to the keys easier
I love the Korean translation. key pad -> height pad. It Prints!
Also, I agree on the wireless.
This would make using blender a bit more handy - all I need now is someway for renders to not take an ice age on my laptop :)
It looks like the * key might be faulty. See it even has a warning sign on the key next to it...
Why not just jam an extra hdd in there? backup you computer to your mouse. and a smoothie maker would be good too. i like smoothies.
