Aparently it's for Phantasy Star Online." If this isn't real, why not? Something like this looks like a great idea to me.

    This just looks like some of the wireless keyboards I've used with integrated track ball and buttons on both sides.. Works fairly well for basic mouse manipulation, but I can imagine doing anything fast or precise with that controller- There's something strange about haveing your hands that far apart.. Is this just a slow plodding point-and-click game?

  2. Similar controller idea by DahGhostfacedFiddlah · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What about something similar, but it would "telescope", so that it would act as a regular controller if you wanted it, but you could pull it out for keyboard functionality? Just another stupid idea.
