Click Button Arcade Watch: Time for a High Score

Posted on 04/09/2013 by Craziest Gadgets Jeff

These Click Button Arcade Watches look just like you’re wearing an arcade game button. Pew pew. And like those 8 bit games of yesteryear, you can press the button! In fact you have to press it if you want to actually see the time:

It’s an easy-to-read LED screen. Looks like we still have time to save the princess from a giant ape, dig out an underground tunnel, save the Earth from invaders, or chomp some ghosts. The case is made of a glossy polycarbonate with a silicone strap in matching colors. Choice of five colors. Game over.

This is a pretty epic little product- the Power-Up Arcade Light Switch Plate slips right over your existing light switch and lets you control your lights with an arcade joystick (it’s battery powered so no electrical connection is needed). Instantly geekify any room in your house. And those two red buttons… of course they make arcade sound effects when you press them, what else would you expect? Oh, an installation and demo video? You got it:

Installation is simple- remove the two screws and take off your existing switch plate, pop in the Power-Up Arcade Light Switch and replace the two screws. That’s it! Great for game rooms, mancaves, kids rooms, kitchens, any place. The big joystick makes it easier for small hands (like kids, or elves) to flip the light switch. Really cool.

Posted on 05/06/2012 by Michael Gorman

Every June, Nyko outs all sorts of gaming peripherals at E3, and this year is no different. It's latest is the ambidextrous Free Fighter arcade-style joystick for PS3 that can be set up for either left- or right-handed gamers. It can be further customized to suit button-mashers of all styles with two variable-speed turbo keys and four programmable macros to let you perform complex combos with a single press. Plus, every button's backlit, and the whole thing comes with a detachable, expandable base to keep it from sliding around in your lap while you're hurling hadoukens and slinging sonic booms. It'll hit store shelves in September with $180 price tag, but if you can't wait until then, check the gallery of press pics below and stay tuned for our hands-on from the E3 show floor.
