That's one gross hand.
It is.
Reminds me of 'Total Recall'.
Two weeks....two weeks!
It's a baby's hand.
I thought it was a mutilated pig foot.
Illuminated Mousepad USB HUB! GET IN MY BELLY!!!!
Another side-effect of browsing too much porn.
LOL man so many people got to my first thought already.. that hand is soup sandwich, soup on a stick....... fucked up man..
Totally! What mutant! It's all fat an 4 fingered. DISGUSTING!
Looks like a pig's leg/foot. Ewww
it's a man-baby's!
I know that we should be accepting and all, but I have to say it... that hand is fucking repulsive! Ugh!
My thoughts exactly too. That is one grotesquely fat hand!
Fatty fingers happen to make for great marketing campaigns...oh nevermind. I thought they were selling the hand =]
When did Sloth get Facebook?
"PIG MAN!" - Kramer
what up with that guy's hand?
Someone loves the Patch tool. His arm is like and huge.
He's obviously not master of his domain.
"It's my strong hand."
Three fingers!
It's a cartoon hand. Judging by the pudgy fingers, I'd say it's one of Matt Groening's.
What is wrong with that hand...ick!
Will it blend?
The Mousepad, or the hand?
The pad, I'm assuming the hand was already blended
LOL. Excellent.
Is this this Oompa loompa special edition?
whats up with that hoof?
dood, thats a total hoof. i love that not one comment is about the product but about that guys crazy looking moose knuckle
Someone doesn't know what a moose knuckle is apparently.
"I'm a hand model, mama. A finger jockey. We think differently than the face and body boys... we're a different breed."
J.P. Prewitt has put on A LOT of weight. I say DAMN!!
Is that a hand or a pickled pig foot?
Times in the Galactic Republic were so bad Jabba the Hutt was forced to take on a second job - hand modeling.
crapgadget? I think so.
I'd buy one if it weren't for that hand.
No seriously that's a wicked sweet looking mousepad. Worthless? totally. BUT IT LIGHTS UP AND ITS LIKE A CALCULATOR OR SOMETHING ZOMG
With cheap products come cheap models...that is the maker's hand!!!
Wow, talk about a complete waste of money...Outta interest, how do you make sure you don't start randomly doing math when using your mouse?? ~_~
The calculator is there to help you stay occupied while you wait for your mouse to respond while using this pad.
Crapgadget?
I'm not so sure I want to check out "GizFever.com" while I'm at work...
What if there's a gizfever pandemic? You need to be informed.
Wow... does that also double as a sausage grill? For those massive sausage fingers? That poor mous is going "get off me!!!!"
lmfao, looks like a dogs paw.
isnt it funny how the first computers were made for maths calculations, and now idiots dont even seem to know there is a calculator built into every OS lol
Indeed I noticed that, that there are scores of people that don't realise their computer can do calculation and there's a calculator.
Couldn't they have picked a better hand model?
Apparently we all noticed that gross hand :(
It's all about being noticed I guess, same basic thing as with many advertiser I guess, who go: be as annoying as possible because people forget the details of the annoyance but remember the brand.
am I the only open that thinks this may not be a totally bad product?
Yes
It's crap-tastic!
(mutated hand and mouse sold separately)
that's one creepy had, it's going to give nightmares....I need a hug....
Looks like there's a hand model job up for the taking.
No! No! No! That's Jillian Barbearie' hand/arm/HOOF - BEFORE she joined Dan Marino and Mike Golic's Nutri-$HIT YOUR BRAINS 0UT of Your System!
I recognize that HOOF anywhere!
Damn Photoshop wrks like magic on a post diet girl doesn't it!
This has "Brando" written ALL OVER it!
Disney predicted the future and channeled it through Wall-E! This is the only evidence I needed...
I was coming in here only to comment about the puffy hand, but it looks like it's already been covered.
Bravo guys.
This is some good tech,,but nothings better when you know how to use Adobe Photoshop CS3....http://whollysblog.com/wordpress/spacecraft-illustration-by-martijn-van-prejudice/
When viewed in the infrared part of the spectrum, the pig's foot is COMPLETELY INVISIBLE.
LOL! Beat you to it...
Finally a mouse pad you can count on!
First proof of the Chupacabra? Now it's ONLINE!
I thought thalidomide fell out of favor in the early sixties.
its kinda like a cankle, but in wrist hand form.
i was thinking the same thing. its impressive.
I only see 4 fingers......
That looks like the hand of our cyclop webbed foot son that my sister and I keep in the basement. He's inbred though, what's your excuse?
Probably Twinkies.
Check it, you know how I be, last week Kobe COULD do without me....damn, I guess now I know how his ass tastes.

But will that hand run Crysis?
I'm guessing that hand has had nothing at all to do with running since elementary school PE class.
Run Crysis - hell it LQQKs like she ALREADY having a CRISIS! Don'tYaThink?
Does anybody still actually use a mousepad? :|
yep. glass steelseries. best 36 bucks I think I've ever spent. after over a year whatever mouse I use on it just glides effortlessly. wipes off with a wet paper towel and it provides *excellent* tracking for my g9 (and the g5 before it).
I think this was actually a leaked pic of a ninja turtle!
It's a crying shame that companies still make USB1.1 devices in this age when USB2.0 is the standard and USB3.0 is just around the corner. If only it supported at least USB2.0, I would have purchased it.
watch out! this craptacular gadget will give you elephantitis of the arm!
ok so it's been done. but i thought reading through the comments that the more comments you read about the massive hand, the funnier they got!
The owner of the hand identified! :-D

Fat hand
For Father's Day! Just in time to hit the shelves and sit next to the 2G silicon ipod covers!
The USB is not even 2.0... And does it really need to use a watch battery to power it???
That's a WOW playing hand!
Thanks for all the laughs. Great Comments everyone.
cool phone.
And here is where you can buy it...the mouse pad not the "hand". The article neglected to say who the seller was...
gizfever.com
Seriously thought, wtf is up with that hand?! This is a great example of what kind of hand NOT to use in a product shot!
"We need a fat, 4 fingered, man-child hand to showcase our multifunction, illuminated USB mouse pad! ASAP!" lmao
Where does his/her pinkie finger went ?
Might as well be Jabba the Hut's hand.
And this isn't made by Brando because...?
Oh, it's probably too useful.
They couldn't get a better hand model? those are some stubby fingers.
it's not just the hand that looks off, it's also the chubby wrist attached to it
I'd hate to see the kankles on that thing
Wow. All the necessary improvements in our technology.
