Crapgadget: nano knockoff (with a camera), Millennium Falcon joystick, Fly Bar pogo

Ah, what to do with all those crappy, cut-rate gadgets flooding our inboxes like a tidal wave of cheap plastic and leaden circuit boards spawned from the hellish manufacturing facilities of nameless, faceless low-grade overseas manufacturers? There are so many we could probably start an entire spinoff site devoted to only to janky gadgets -- hell, some sites already are. So we did the only sensible thing: rounded some of the "best" ones up and made it our latest running series. May we present: Crapgadget. Enjoy the crap out of this, okay? We nearly gouged our eyes out in the making.

So is this a not so subtle Gizmodo knock. All of those have had feature stories in the last day or two.

Flybars are sooooo 2005. Just check Youtube for some videos.

the flybar actually isn't actually "spawned from the hellish manufacturing facilities of nameless, faceless low-grade overseas manufacturers"it was invented in Vancouver BC Canada by a father of 2 young girls, a far cry from a knock off overseas market

Yes, but this is not meant to be a list cheap "knockoffs". It's meant to be a list of exactly what the title implies: crap.

I agree..., I have a flybar and use it in my daily work out routine.
I like it personally, it supports my 220lbs and is very robust.
Nah...not crap.
The M/falcon joystick...mmmmm, maybe crap, but it would win with a knockout with it's 2 button control over my 1 button Atari controller.

I really don't think Flybar deserves to be on that list.

Well I really don't think the Millennium Falcon joystick deserves to be on that list--thing looks badass.

I saw this on bitness.com almost a year ago (http://bitness.com/?p=36). This is a cool looking pogo. The review on bitness is pretty funny - check it out.

Oh that's just hideous!

No lawsuits? They appear to have some of Apple's original icons in there.

Ha! I was JUST about to paste that!

I'm sure this Millenium Falcon joystick didn't make the Kessel run in 12 parsecs!

That Nano ripoff is built in a speaker.
