    Wow, That Nyko Type Pad Pro Is Huge In Person, Too

    If it were just a few feet wider, the Nyko Type Pad Pro could pass as a spaceship.

    The thing is, as ridiculous as the peripheral may be, it felt pretty great in my hands. The back is shaped similar to an Xbox 360 controller (complete with triggers for the Wii's A & B buttons), so you can type on the large, split QWERTY with relative ease. I'm not sure the I'd use it to browse the web on the Wii, but then again, I'd probably never browse the web on the Wii in the first place. No word yet on pricing or availability.
