Seemingly designed by those who like to snuggle with snapping turtles and incorporate hand grenades into their decor, WarMouse Meta is large and in charge with 18-buttons including a joystick.

The device is expected to ship June 28 for $79.99. That is less than $4.50 per button which makes it a gadget bargain and check out the specs you can lay on the table:
