Wow genius!

Would be even more genius had this used a real hamster, and instead of drawing juice from the computer, it actually generated power. HamsterUPS ftw!

Legs don't seem to move on that thing!

Most amusing. I'm a bit worried about the driver quality that is to be expected from whoever makes odd knicknacks; but I like the concept.

yes, because you're going to need advanced options and funtions for spinning a wheel...

It says it requires 2 AA batteries... so what's the point of the USB?

 

[zoiks]

It'll be amusing for 10sec.

Get this instead. Much more interactive fun!

Why does it need 2AA batteries if it's powered by USB?

That is awesome! Anyone know of a US or Canadian seller of these?

Screw that, get this!

awww, I though it was gonna be a hamster wheel to charge my laptop battery. I wonder how many watts of power a hamster can put out? My computer prolly only takes like 20watts in low power mode right, I bet a hamster could generate that....

Really I think the hamster speed should be based on CPU level, not typing speed.

 

[eplebnista]

Yes
