Sometimes, it takes an unusual project to snap people out of the daze inflicted by routine product launches, and Genius has something of the sort.

The product is called F-1000 Arcade Stick and is, obviously, an arcade stick.

Not just any arcade stick though. Sure, it works with PlayStation 3 consoles from Sony, but it's also compatible with Windows PCs.

The full list of supported operating systems is this: Windows 7/8 /Vista/XP/2000/ME/98.

I imagine that Genius will eventually release a PS4-compatible version, unless this one is revealed to work with that too. But I digress.

The F-1000 Arcade Stick has eight buttons and a 4-axis ball-handled joystick.

It all measures 300 x 220 x 120 mm / 11.81 x 8.66 x 4.72 inches and weighs 1.866 kilos / 4.08 pounds.

Sales are underway in the US and Canada, for $59.99 / €44.85 – 59.99.
