Evergreen Genius Navigator 365: It's a Mouse! It's a Gamepad! It's a Gamemousepad!

Evergreen's new Genius Navigator 365 is described by the English translation of Impress as "a USB gamepad deformed laser mouse", and we couldn't agree more. The mouse is 1600dpi, the gamepad has eight buttons and a D-pad, and it sells for $33 (¥3,499). Be warned, of course, that you get what you pay for. [Impress]

Dealzmodo Irony: Free USB Dancing Gamepad, from Kraft

Kraft, the company that I exclusively associate with the oh-so-fattening (and delicious) mac & cheese, has this odd deal on their site. They are giving away a free DDR-style dancing pad for the PC and free copies of the DDR knock-off, StepMania. They do want you to pay shipping, which is $6, but that isn't too bad for a fun game that could work off pounds and pounds of mac & cheese. More »

Elecom Fancy Pants USB Pad

Retro, chic, stupid, fashionable, all of the above? The JC-U1906T gamepad from Elecom is essentially all of that. It has a nice NES controller feel but with worse buttons that seem to be labeled in some kind of unknown language. The only buttons that are understandable are "Auto" and "Clear" and everyone knows those buttons are crucial for PC gaming. This might be a good pad if you are a emulator whore who really needs to feel retro-like, but for anyone else, just stick to a traditional gamepad, or better yet, the Xbox 360 controller. More »

Feet On: Fitness J-Mat From XaviX

Some things are a joke. The J-Mat "gaming system" from XaviX along with all their other "gaming systems" are probably the epitome of the word "joke". First off, their company name sounds like the next pill that will get your johnson up from Merck. The J-Mat is basically a toned down 1988 Nintendo Power Pad. The graphics that go along with the game are on par with NES and the gameplay is downright horrible. John forced me onto the J-Mat to try it out so you won't have to. The game was something about Jackie Chan and how he runs through a city doing absolutely nothing. You have to run in place until you find some random sign in the road. When you find the sign, you jump over by jumping in place. Woohoo. Real fun. Other feats included going around the sign, under the sign, and not running into the fucking sign. Oh, and at random times, Ninjas popped out and you'd have to slam your feet down on the pad to kill them. Do yourself a favor and avoid anything made by XaviX. You'll thank me later. More »

Alienware Mobile Phone Gamepad

I know there are hardcore gamers out there, that will do and spend anything to increase their gaming edge. I really have doubts that there are hardcore enough mobile phone gamers that actually need a gamepad to play Brick Attack, but who knows. For those diehard mobile gamers I guess Alienware heard your calling and has a new gamepad dock. This dock supports a couple of the Kyocera KX series phones for all of the Java and Brew games you can handle! It should be available later this year for $30. More »
