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."

      Any technology distinguishable from magic, is insufficiently advanced.

    Come to that you could have linked directly to http://zieak.com/projects/nintendo_mouse.htm rather than to a ad laden blog site whoring someone else's content for pennies a click. (Not that it matters I suppose as the site is offline already.)
