When I saw this picture of the Fanatec heäd$h0t mouse/mousepad combo, I first thought it was a parody.
I couldn’t figure out whether this description from Crunchgear was inspired satire or straight-up rave-up:
[T]his mouse is designed for gamers with OCD and is comprised of the mouse, the mousing surface (mousepad), and an arch to hold your mouse cable. The base itself is a two-port powered USB hub, which means it needs an AC adapter.

All in all the mousing action is really smooth thanks to the mouse + mousepad combination, and is a great deal for $100. If not for the fact that we already have a few Logitech gaming mice sitting around here, we’d pick up one of these in a heartbeat. But if you don’t like making your desk look like the Joel Schumacher Lego Batman Starter Set, this may be a bit garish for you.
And then I looked at the folks who run Crunchgear (be sure to scroll down). Ah. Now I understand.
Whatever happened to the wireless mouse?
