USB Mouse Pad isn't a mouse pad at all… and yet it is

Evergreen-USB-Mouse-Pad.jpg

The Genius Navigator 365 by Evergreen works like your standard cheap mouse, but you can flip it open to reveal a little gamepad on the inside. It's eight buttons and d-pad will most likely satisfy your needs if you're playing old arcade, Super Nintendo or Genesis ROMS, and it's a laser mouse running at more-than-capable 1600 dpi for what it is.

For $35, the USB Mouse Pad costs more than the sum of its parts — if you can find one. To its credit, we've seen a ton of different and often perplexing mouse combos around here, and this one is one of the more useful.

This would be great for sneaking in a quick game during a dull work day. When the boss comes around, just fold it up and noone is the wiser!

Better not be a frustrating game, that hinge looks pretty flimsy, and prone to break if any rage induced flailing occurs

sly - or you just find a game that uses the keyboard or mouse like everybody else does at work

This is not a mousepad. It is a mouse, and a gamepad, but not a mousepad. The company that makes it doesn't even refer to it as a mousepad.

@Covarr: I noticed that too. Headline talks about a mouse pad yet all they show is a mouse. It is a cool idea though.

did you mean to say that it is worth more than the sum of its parts or that it's less expensive than the sum of it's parts? is it too expensive or reasonalbly priced?
