You must really hate cordless “mice”.

I would try to think of them as “more accurately computer pikas” or “perhaps optical golden moles”; but I’ve been so embittered by years of transmitter dongles, dead batteries, bluetooth being garbage, and logitech pairing utilities being logitech that I do, indeed, really hate cordless mice.

A mouse without a cord is called a “hamster.”

Waiting for the three-paneled CENTERFOLDITOR.
Or is that too archaic a reference?

The Amazon listing also says you can “boost your productivity by 300%.”
Of what, they don’t specify.
No; regarding computer peripherals, that would be TWAIN.

Somebody should hook this up to a Wang computer. It should be doable with some adapters.

In one of the “Unfinished Tales” books that Christopher Tolkien edited from whatever unpublished scraps of paper his father left behind, there is a character named, I kid you not, “Teleporno”. Despite sounding like a spicy premium cable channel, it actually means “Silver tail” in Quenya.

Tall rather than tail; it’s not a separate character but just the Telerin form of Celeborn.

You just broke Betteridge’s Law
(Note that Rob did not write “The Pornitor is the worst-named computer peripheral in history”)
I am sure there is something, somewhere with a worse name, and perhaps Rob suspects this may be true, too.

It’s supposed to be a portable monitor (?) so a pocket mouse might be more effective.
With three screens to distract a person, well, wouldn’t trying to monitor three monitors (that was just for you @fuzzyfungus) rather tend to reduce your productivity by two-thirds, instead?

In point of fact, the answer is “no”, because they didn’t spend a penny and they’ve gotten their product in front of a bunch of people from folks meming on it. Some people will buy it for the lols, and ironic money spends the same as regular money. And where we’re dealing with a commodified product, it’s not unlikely that some folks will legitimately buy it, because this is the one they saw as opposed to one with a word salad name.
