Younger generations will never know the joy of going to the arcade and playing, basically, next-gen games for just a …
Genius is bringing you their newest gaming mouse, the X-G510.

With CES 2013 coming to a frigid conclusion here in Las Vegas, we moseyed our way to the Genius booth and went thumbs-on with the Ring Presenter and the Ring Mouse 2. Both use a 2.4GHz wireless USB connection, providing you with a 10-foot radius of Ring Mouse action on either OS X or Windows. The Ring Mouse 2 packs the standard mouse functions, while the Ring Presenter offers left / right / middle buttons, dragging, four-way scrolling and -- drum roll, please -- a laser pointer. Wearers simply navigate the cursor by perusing their thumb across the Touch Control sensor capable of a 1000dpi sensitivity.
After donning the ring we found it to be quite large, so those with smaller paws might have a harder time using it. From within approximately two feet out we observed great response and ease of use. The duo of diminutive peripherals may prove interesting for a niche that's tired of the conventional pointer, and if you find yourself in that group, you can purchase either in the near future for $50+.

Good news for those hoping to try on a new ring during their visit to Las Vegas next month: Genius will be showing of the followup to its Ring Mouse peripheral at CES. Not a ton of information on what makes the device different from its predecessor, but the company's promising some hands-on time with it as well as the new GX Gila Gaming Mouse, which offers up a DPI range of 200 to 8,200 and an "Angle Snapping" feature for better cursor precision. The previously announced Touch Mouse 6000 for Windows 8 will also be getting some time to shine at the show.

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from Whee!, which we guess probably isn't their real name, who is looking for a way to ditch their mouse. If you're looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.
"I'm a web developer, and my typical day involves a lot of moving and clicking when testing stuff in the browser. I've been thinking about ditching my mouse, because when using it for long hours it gets very uncomfortable. As such, I'm eyeing up a Wacom tablet and using the pen input to mouse around -- but do you think it's a good idea? Thanks in advance!"
Our questioner wants to solve their wrist-pain woes, and it certainly seems like a reasonable enough idea to us. Plenty of tablets come with a mouse mode, so it's just down to the limits of your budget.
That said, perhaps the wider Engadget community has an even better tip, so if you've already made that leap, why not share your knowledge in the comments below?
