I like what the kinect offered for hardware hacking projects, as in 3D object scanning i.e. but since I do use a rubber nipple myself it gets my vote ! :geek:

The Steam controller! One of it's selling points is that it's even hackable, and I have been dying to get my hands on a truly revolutionizing gamepad that can compete with a keyboard and mouse setup!
