    Default You are not a geek for buying one of these

    http://theperegrine.com/product/

    And neither am I.

    I go crazy with games where I have a billion hotkeys, so this will be welcomed.

    Also I can use it to type, though probably not very well.

    I did. I mean, I guess it would be useful if you're playing WoW or some other nerdy mmorpg, but I don't think that would be useful to any pc games I play.

    This is clearly very different from the Ninetdo Powerglove.

    It doesn't have a D-pad for one thing.

    And, um...

    IT DOESN'T HAVE A D-PAD TOTALLY DIFFERENT

    I was surprised by how relatively cheap it was. People would pay this much for a gaming keyboard + gaming mouse.

    I just have to get use to using the mouse with my right hand again; no big deal.

    Oh yeah also I become a little impulsive when I get bad news.

    Lost my funding for my research. It will be over in a couple months. It paid for my research materials, my paycheck, and allowed me to get insurance. I don't know what I'm going to do.

    But anyway... WOO POWERGLOVE!

    This beats it:

    Amazon.com: X Rocker Commander Pedestal Gaming Chair: Kitchen & Dining@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41WJ23FD3rL.@@AMEPARAM@@41WJ23FD3rL



    Also if I said I was getting a gaming mouse + gaming keyboard it would not seem as geeky but cost as much :/

    I think the chair is geekier just because the title says it's for the kitchen.

    Hah, I was thinking about posting one of these.

    I'd probably be too nervous and keep saying "uuuuh" and "uuuuum."

    The glove would be pretty useful for intense photoshopping. If I retouched photos for a living, I could see myself buying the glove.

    I don't really see how its any more of an advantage than one of those special keyboards it just seems pointless but I guess you could be right, you could set up point on it for strafing but I'd still rather not use it

    Also you should make a video I'd like to see someone who doesn't work for this company use it.
