    Hi Kari! Nice to see you review these! As the actual designer of the mouse you are 100% correct in all your points. It's definitely a bit of an ergonomic, ahem, nightmare? That's definitely a word I'd use! I would sincerely hope no one uses this for their daily runner, unless they have already deep callouses in their hands. The story behind the origin of the mouse is back when I was studying industrial design, and making a computer mouse was the first course in being allowed to use the workshop tools (milling machines, lathes, saws, etc), way before we did any ergonomics course. Would I design it the same way again today, almost 16 years later? Probably! Because making an ultra sleek ergonomic NES-inspired mouse would probably destroy the whole point of eliciting nostalgia, and hours spent with the little hard soap brick of the NES-gamepad digging into your hands as you were griding Excite Bike. Kudos to 8bitdo though, they held very true to my original design.

      ​@paper_gem the mouse was invented by Douglas Englebart (1925-2013) in the early 1960s, and patented in 1970.

      @@paper_gem designed, definitely not invented. Talented engineers at 8bitdo made sure it was producible, made the circuit board, chose components, and took care of everything beyond deciding upon the design, which included beyond the shape things like fit and feel, materials, button placements, etc.

      Honestly this mouse is not as unergonomic as you would think. I have large hands and this mouse fits perfectly. At least you didn’t use a track ball. That would have been a nightmare.

    I can think of one use for the large buttons: Put them on the floor so that you can tap them with your foot to activate various actions in games. People used to do that with a second joystick on the C64, where the spacebar was used in some games, and a joystick in port one would register as the spacebar when you pressed the fire button.

    Hey Kari - as a reformed nail biter myself (mine were even shorter than yours), I now have perfect nails by using a method that I should really patent! The trick is to first pick the nail you bite the least, and absolutely leave that one alone 100%. Within a few weeks it will start to go back to normal (keep biting the other ones all you like). Then once that first nail has regrown, go onto the next 'least favourite', and leave that one alone 100% (while still biting the rest). Within about 4 months you will have broken the habit, and it's surprising how well they all come back to the right shape. Also, keep up the great videos - they remind me a bit of that 90's show 'Bad Influence'!

    Nice showcase! I bought one of these along with a trackpad, then i modeled and 3d printed a tray for them. Now i have my own (much heavier.. but much cooler) Logitech k400 alternative :) . Plus, the software lets you set a profile to use mouse clicks. So i can hold it naturally and use the trackpad with my right thumb and use keys on the left side for clicking. I use ~ and 1 for left and right click. Also configured the B and A for "next" and "previous", which works in many audio and video programs. I don't use the big buttons but had thought of using one as a foot switch maybe..

    I have a few mechanical keyboards now but only the really cheap ones (30 bucks or so). Proper keyboard customizing is an expensive hobby but the market for 100$ prebuilds is getting pretty healthy for beginners to dip their toe into it.

    The big buttons might be good to map as "buzz-in" buttons in two player quiz games.

    Nice keyboard but it's a shame it doesn't have the full sized 'UK' enter key

    It would be nice to see old joysticks and gamepads too!

    Those two massive buttons, could perhaps be fun for use controlling the left/right flippers on pinball games.

    Hi. Loving the videos 😊
    Could you extend the cable to the big buttons and use them with your feet?
    Are there any games where that would even work? 🤔

    lol i remember playing track and field type games on my ZX Spectrum , it was a button mashing affair , i could have done with one of those button gadgets.

    Typing of the dead 😊 I think it's based on House of the Dead 2 which we played in the arcade around 1999 😊

    Foot buttons for game hiding when your boss comes around 🙂

    I would set one button for the period key and one for enter so i can write dramatically

    I would put those giant A and B buttons under the desk and use with my feet while playing other games, configured with macros.
