0fn, that product has been in the works for many months now. i've even been seeing MMOADS for it on PSU for a month at least.

i agree that it's a bad idea, but mostly because i know i'd want to lift the thing up all the time. ergonomically speaking, it's really pretty good for you.

One of my buds is on the development team

I've gotten to try it

Honestly when I saw it I was like! OMG WTF LAME!!!

then I tried it with doomIII and I gotta say this is a really fine product.

Now first off it's not for people who use Mouse move and such... but in a standard FPS it is awesome..

Imagine instead of sliding the mouse to turn you just pivot your wrist, and to look up you lean it back and to look down you push it down... The trigger is Mouse button 1 and mouse button 2 is under the trigger guard where your midle finger can hit it... the wheel is up by the thumb.

All in all very comfortable, and made control much easier and more responsive then I've ever found a mouse in an FPS.

If you get a chance try one out! MAy not be everyones cup of tea, but I like it and will probably get one a bit down the road.

Just read the site...

If they are willing to let you try it for 30 days then it's well worth it. If I had the spare 50 bucks I''d be buying it allready!
