looks like they were just way to eager to show you an incomplete product.
would have been better to just get 4 electric-keyboard pedals and wire them to work on USB.
For some reason Gizmodo were very pleased with it if I remember correctly, with Kotaku linking them and saying they thought it was good. I think it was probably a case of them not trying it out properly if at all and thinking the concept was cool. There are some definite design flaws that are inescapable as soon as you try and use it.
Concept sounds quite cool, I've always wished I had an extra hand or two to make gaming that much easier, but it's a shame the didn't do it right.
I agree with Veles. I have some nerve damage in some of my fingers, making it difficult to become proficient at hitting keys with my ring finger and pinky finger. I had thought of having foot pedals for some extra buttons. I thought it would be especially cool for a game like F.E.A.R., to assign the melee kick to a foot pedal. Its a good idea, but the application seems to miss the mark.
have you seen the 'how to use the mouse' video ? It might be true that it's precise for those who 'fingermouse' , but there is no denying that it must be incredibly uncomfortable
OMFGLOLBBQROFLMAO!!! this is insane.

Out of curiousity... how does a product get a 1? Becuase there seemed to be absolutely no positives at all to this product. Yet the total score was still 11/40... Where'd those points come from?

it seems like you need superflexible fingers to use that comfortably. especially those side buttons.

Well, there is a certain inventiveness to it even if the product is awful. Plus, despite a few design flaws, it can actually be used for some stupidly simple tasks. If it was inane and worked not at all then it gets a one. These look ok at least and worked a fraction, plus having a novel idea, so it brings them up a point or two.
Hardly any though when we consider 7 to be the average score for a moderately decent product.

Well, if you plugged in a USB memory stick that installed spyware and pron dialers, or an external HDD enclosure that randomly reformats the drive instead of defragmenting it, or a mouse that gives you irregular electric shocks, that might come close. Or a case with all the internal edges filed to razors

i think i saw a review of that thing in another place and it got a good score.

when you see the kind of mouse they sell, you quickly understand how crappy their products are

It's like having a joystick to drive a car.

That looks horrendously uncomfortable to use O.o
