Interesting item, it looks like bad software/driver support is its weakest point.

That is one monstrous ferrite core on the cable.

That looks like my teenagers corn snake after he eats a mouse!

I had to re-read that a few times.  It's too early in the morning to decipher "corn snake."  I had one of those a few days ago after a Cinco de Drinko BBQ.  I don't think that's what ripster was referring to, though.

His son obviously has one of these critters, whose preferred diet are small rodents such as mice. As we all know, snakes usually are able to swallow amazingly large things, then gaining a bit of a funny appearance not quite unlike a cable with a ferrite core.
Admittedly ripster's sentence was lacking in clarity.

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

OK.  I am more aware of them as the (red) rat snake.

Snakes?  Well, they tend to move by using speciaized scales that act like "feet" to propel the snake as it slithers.  Some snakes use poison to immobilize/kill their prey before consuming.  Others use a constriction method to asphyxiate their prey.  All snakes consume their food whole and can dislocate their jaws to consume larger prey.
 
Oh, you meant the Ergodex.  Get on topic, pmyshkin.  We're talking about snakes, here.

I was waiting for that one.
 
Anyone notice the autocensor doesn't seem to pick up s*** anymore? Try it.

No need.  I think I've got the message across that this is a family-friendly community and unnecessary vulgarity is not needed.  

I turned off the censor.  :)

I've seen this around but I just don't think it is very convenient. If you get intense with the game then the keys will move, no?
