SNES Mouse on a PC
Hardware hacker, Raphael recently ported his old SNES mouse to his computer. Why? For kicks I guess. How? Well he shows you that on his site. While the mouse itself was nothing special (pretty crappy in fact) I do appreciate the irony - adapting a device on a computer that was designed to adapt computer functionality on a console is like a really bad joke that’s so bad, it’s funny again.

wow I remeber the days of mario paint. There was a game where you had to smash all the flies I could never beat it b/c the mouse was so crappy! What would be cool is if they modded an optical mouse into it and added a scroll wheel.
