It is rare that I pay any attention to Engadget’s reviews on products, but this one made me laugh. I was not sure what Wow-Pen, the makers of the Joy Mouse, were thinking when they designed this. It either looks like: the more PG version, a hand about to beat you in thumb wrestling, or the more adult version, tiny but fat dildo.

I realize that Joy Mouse could be for joystick, but the fact that it is called the Joy Mouse and has that design just does not pair right.

It’s strange how “ergonomic” devices rarely look like they’d be comfortable to use. Such is the case with the Wow-Pen Joy, a new mouse that conforms to the hand like a pen would, apparently making your computing experience a little less tough on the wrists.

I just read this article over on Engadget about the Interlocking Pac-Man Lights.  Apparently Remake Design’s is the creator of the light blocks featuring Pac-Man, the infamous ghosts, and little blue dots to gobble up.  Personally, this product is a little silly, for the price you pay for the solid color lights, the Pac-Man edition looks expensive.

How much do you think this product would run for?  Well for $300 you can purchase four of the solid-colored light blocks, so it is pretty likely that this rather large set would cost a butt-load.  Though they haven’t priced them yet, so crossing my fingers for those of you who want this retro lighting system in their house without wanting to spend their nest egg.

Alienware and NEC both introduced the new panoramic view monitor. The monitor curves to give you a view of what is around you as well. Its beautiful, as a gamer myself I would love to see video games with a display like this.

This reminds me of the VRX Mach 4 for Xbox. That certainly is neat, but a little pricey. But look at just a third of the specs on the Mach 4:

· 4 Microsoft Xbox 360’s
· 4 Copy’s Forza Motorsport 2
· Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter
· Microsoft Force Feedback Steering wheel
· 3 Sharp Aquos 37″ LC-D62U 1080p HD LCD displays
· Adjustable rear view Power Acoustik (PTM 750) 7″ LCD display
· Bose Acoustimass 10 series surround sound system with subwoofer

Either way, a screen would be incredibly awesome to use too.
