Genius Navigator 365 Gamepad Mouse - Another Identity Crisis

  May 19th, 2008



DON'T MISS

Here's another gadget having an identity crisis (first one here). At first glance, the Genius Navigator 365 Laser is undoubtedly a wired mouse, but flipping open it reveals an old-school joypad with a 8-way directional pad and 8 buttons which should be good enough for most Nintendo NES and SEGA gameplay. The mouse itself boosts a laser sensor that tops at 1600 dpi resolution, but Genius' touch sensitive optical 'wheel' doesn't make it to this foldable controller.

So, if you split your time between emulated games and number crunching during your business trip, this 2-in-1 mobile mouse might be worth your $33. Here's our approved choice of mouse for a real road warrior; it doesn't have a gamepad because we don't think such a person would have time for games.
