That's the greatest thing that I've ever seen. You've got to have some balls to make a controller with six different shift keys on it.

You would need intensive training just to get it to be of any use.  Haha!  What a mess.

I remember seeing this in one of our KB+Mouse versus Gamepad threads. I think Scott posted it.

That things seems like it's made for large crustaceans or insects to use.

LOL, I remember personally using the Power Glove and R.O.B.  R.O.B. was really only for this game Gyromite but yeah you quickly figured out if you just had a friend press the buttons on the second controller instead of the slow-ass robot it was way easier.

The classic NES days were the best man :)

Nintendo had so much going on.

Does anyone remember Captain N: The Game Master (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_N)? And here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ1vp90ww30&NR=1) a vid for the nostalgic.

I think the most ambitious but ultimately useless Nintendo console was the Virtualboy.

Ars Technica did a five-page review of the Alpha Grip (http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/alphagrip.ars). The reviewer claimed to hit 45wpm and ended up rating it 7/10.
