Razer Naga Gaming Mouse’s Dad Apparently Had Sex With A Phone
2:50AM Matt Buchanan | What do you get when you mate a phone dialpad with a gaming mouse? Razer’s Naga MMO mouse, apparently. There’s 17 buttons, as in sixteen candles plus one, minus the candles. But surprisingly, that’s not the most interesting about Naga. More »

The WoW Pod Brings Porta-Potties to Azeroth

SteelSeries World of Warcraft Mouse Destroys Orcs, Your Last Shreds of Dignity With 15 Buttons
1:10AM Matt Buchanan | SteelSeries’ World of Warcraft MMO mouse is officially the most ridiculous gaming mouse I have ever seen. Designed with Blizzard just for WoW gamers (just in time for Wrath of the Lich King), it has 15 programmable buttons. You don’t even have that many fingers. And it has flashing disco lights. In 16 million colours. Of course, this much nerd doesn’t come cheap—it’ll be $US90 when it drops next month, but SteelSeries gear is tank-like, so you’ll be stuck with it for a long time. Which is good, since you’re going to be very lonely if you buy one. More »
