But you see this bright red LED? Do you know what it is for? IT'S A POWER LED! THIS IS A MOUSE WITH A POWER LED IT'S ON WHENEVER IT'S PLUGGED INpic.twitter.com/UMNVTa4dyq
So why are there 4 buttons? Well, the bottom one is Web Browser, and the top one is Calculator. Although on my system, I have the "Calculator" key mapped to open a terminal.pic.twitter.com/LLD0By9GKH
That's because my keyboard has a Calculator button, which I've remapped. There's no way to remap keys on this mouse. It's actually just pretending to be a keyboard, and is pressing the media keys for Web Browser and Calculator.pic.twitter.com/ZTG4C0RTqA
The worst part of this mouse is how it fails as a mouse, because you can't "hop" You know the thing where you reach the edge of a mouse pad, then pick up the mouse, move it over to reposition it without moving the cursor, then continue moving? Doesn't work here!pic.twitter.com/wWLygKTYUC
If you can't see what's happening there, when you try to pick up the mouse, you instead pick up the protective case, and the mouse stays on the table/mousepad.
The internals. One big anonymous microcontroller chip, an optical module, but with a separate LED this time.pic.twitter.com/mN4tGukQgE
Here's the other PCB, aptly named "PCB 2". Very simple.pic.twitter.com/GSBQ7oKTUF
This isn't the only weird mouse-numpad I have, though. I also have this one, and have for a while:pic.twitter.com/mdWjGlmo6q

I haven't been able to get that one working, though. It's serial, but doesn't use the standard serial protocol (and can't, since it has to be both a mouse AND a keyboard!) but none of the drivers I can find seem to work. More pics & info here:https://twitter.com/Foone/status/938181925327351808 …
foone added,
Finally I have what looks like another numpad phone, but isn't. THE MOUSE PHONE! It's a mouse, and a phone! But the two parts are separate. It's just a mouse and phone where the numpad is only for the phone.pic.twitter.com/fQNI4cmxxX
