Well nerds, it is?
Hardly. I argue that true nerdiness prioritizes function over fashion, and as this thing stands, it's all fashion, zero function.
(When I first saw the subject line and the images, I got the impression that it would be an actual wrist-mounted numeric keypad, and actually got excited. As a user of 10-keyless keyboards (to minimize the distance between the keys and the mouse) I really like the idea of plugging that thing into my computer and swinging over my dominant hand whenever I need to 10-key in some numbers. Geeky, yes, but geeky-cool in a curiously useful kind of way.)
