Num Pad Mouse


Sometimes, the computer-themed gadgets can be curious. Like this device, that is a hybrid of mouse and num pad. This interesting solution to num pad users makes their life easier.

You don't need to get your hand off the mouse to type some mathematical expressions or simple numbers - all needed buttons are already present on your mouse. Help in calculations, or even playing games - why don't use this buttons to bind some game's actions to them? Not sure how they would be pressed though, but with proper training they can be pressed with your palm, I think. Training also is needed to prevent accidental button pushes when you are in a middle of a fight.

This gadget can be very useful for people, who use calculator a lot, and for skillful gamers, which can use additional buttons as a useful bonus. For casual PC user, this is only a funny result of how a cross between keyboard and mouse could look like.
