The AirFlo gamepads has a built-in fan under the device and cooling vents on the side of the grips.

"Cool air blowing on your hands as you play helps you stay focused on the game and not get uncomfortable with a clammy controller," said Susan Corben, Nyko's Director of Marketing.

I'm imagining a fan on the bottom blowing air out of the mouse... you'd have a hovermouse!

Am I missing something here? It says it's wireless, yet there's no need for batteries as it takes it's power direct from the system?! How the hell does that work then or am I just being stupid?
