NES Controller Laser Mouse

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-a-cute-hack dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Old school is new school, fool. It's time to take that retired NES controller of yours that you broke so mercilessly smashing it on the carpet in frustration at never ever ever being able to beat Ikari Warriors, and recycle that biz. Be good to the environment and turn that thing into a laser mouse, why don't you? And yes, the A button is left click, and the B is your right, and your raging case of carpal tunnel is about to get a whole lot more fun."

    Give him an optical mouse, a paperclip, and some belly-button lint, and he'll have a laser weapon strong enough to take out a battlestar before the next commercial break comes along.
