Ezkey's mouse and keypad combo

Here you have it: proof that convergence can never be stopped. We don't have any details on this optical mouse but really, what more do you need to know?

[groundZ @ Jul 31st 2007 4:36AM]

The price?

[nih @ Jul 31st 2007 5:45AM]

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!

[Justin @ Jul 31st 2007 4:42AM]

Why don't they just add a fingerprint reader at that scroll wheel while their at it?

[ryanworrell @ Jul 31st 2007 5:00AM]

LOL. Fck it, go ahead and install some speakers too! lol

[Simon Reeves @ Jul 31st 2007 5:08AM]

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.

[evenSong @ Jul 31st 2007 5:10AM]

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....

[AntWhite @ Jul 31st 2007 5:28AM]

Awesome, Just needs to be bluetooth and a voip phone

[Grey Acumen @ Jul 31st 2007 10:29AM]

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.

[Dan @ Aug 5th 2007 7:48AM]

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.

[roygbiv @ Jul 31st 2007 5:41AM]

Actually, I'm sure I've seen this on Engadget Chinese before...

They even have a keyboard with a slide-out keypad!

[ypod @ Jul 31st 2007 5:44AM]

Innovate or die! 5 stars

[Jorge Almeida @ Jul 31st 2007 6:11AM]

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)

[thesb @ Jul 31st 2007 6:28AM]

Heck with all that stuff. What it really needs is a fragrance oil burner.

[strider_mt2k @ Jul 31st 2007 7:06AM]

I have to get one with a triple-zero button.

"you're either a 1 or a 0... alive or dead"

[mark @ Jul 31st 2007 10:20AM]

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.

[tiuk @ Jul 31st 2007 11:48AM]

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.

[ron @ Jul 31st 2007 11:57AM]

Look ma, it's a mouse with a George Forman grill!

[peter @ Jul 31st 2007 12:52PM]

make it wireless and we've got a deal...

[buttabean @ Jul 31st 2007 1:16PM]

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

[stephen @ Jul 31st 2007 2:09PM]

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!)

[Traveler @ Jul 31st 2007 2:13PM]

Likeable

[brandon h @ Jul 31st 2007 2:14PM]

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?)

[Ali @ Jul 31st 2007 2:55PM]

I love the Korean translation. key pad -> height pad. It Prints!

Also, I agree on the wireless.

[Douglas @ Jul 31st 2007 9:26PM]

It looks like the * key might be faulty. See it even has a warning sign on the key next to it...

[Jake @ Aug 1st 2007 2:13AM]

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? ;)

[Zak @ Aug 1st 2007 9:27AM]

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.

[mark @ Aug 1st 2007 10:56AM]

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 :)

[Innocent Sin @ Sep 12th 2007 8:04PM]

Awesome for laptop users
