If the trackball and/or keyboard were USB, I'd buy one as well. I think the price is definitely worth it though.

: Do some research, and you'll find out that the parts really DO cost quite a bit. A 3" arcade trackball alone costs about $100.

: As far as comparing prices of computers and game consoles to products like the slikstik or hotrod, it's apples and oranges. Not only are they different products with different target markets, but as Andy pointed out, the economies of scale allow for mass produced electronic items to be sold at prices FAR below the cost of similar items produced by hand in limited quantities.

: Bottom line: Take some econ courses.
