K. This thing balls way too hard. I feel bad that the video is private at the time of posting, but if you want to learn more, check it out:

We checked it out in person at PAX and it's every bit as good as it seems.

Private video I want to seeee.

 

I just feel like it's something my cats can walk over and really mess up the game for me.

[M-ursu]

Again private video, but thumbnail is just awesome!

Double post*

Gaming mice still have a long way to go to be perfect for me.  Heck a footboard would be easier to use to add more control than trying to use a Razer Naga or use other mice that still don't make buttons big enough top side and don't put enough of them up on the top side.

you must be bad at math...no matter how many thumb buttons the mouse has, you only have 1 thumb to press them.  1 extra input option which I never had before is genius. Can you use 2 at once?

No I can't use 2 at once, but forgive me if I'm wrong, and I might be, because I don't play mmo games, but I have 2 thumb buttons and I'm more than good, seriously how much buttons does a person need?

$50? maybe

 

$119? pfffffft

A nice set of rudder pedals for flight sims run from $120-$200. I don't see what's so bad about 120$. You get what you pay for and I would rather pay 120$ for solid aluminium instead of plastic.

I've had a single pedal for my computer for a number of years now, and I absolutely love it (even just as the press-to-talk key for voice chat in a game, when I wanted to keep all my easily-accessible keys free.)

 

Now I did it using a big metal Playstation 2 pedal (ie one designed for Time Crisis), and a PS2 to USB adapter, so this is a lot more elegant.

 

I may actually just pick one of these up at some point - the extra functionality of making it 4-way wouldn't be half bad (ooh, ooh: pressing up as a sprint command!)

Just because rudder pedals are over priced doesn't mean this isn't as well. I don't claim to know how the actual manufacturing cost, or how willing any particular market/individual is to pay a certain cost.

 

Just saiyan, it aint for me brah.

This thing likely costs $50 or more to manufacture. Gotta be realistic. If you want high quality stuff, then you have to be willing to pay for high quality stuff...

[Guest Gazzer96]

This is quite expsensive for something like this, so I'll pass.

Exactly.

Agreed.

I mean, I play Planetside 2. If I bind my flight controls to this, such as strafe/Yaw and Pitch.... *head explodes*

Seriously, this is great for things like that. 

I would also want to try it in a FPS just to see how it would feel to run around using it. It all depends on how easy it is to do diagonals (Up+Left, or any other similar combination). 

Bookmarked for future gaming buys .

I was really thinking on getting this  quite sure i saw this on kickstarter..... BUT website says USB mini on footboard, I'll pass thanks

[ofr057]

Did you watch the video? The cable house routing built into the base of the device. The routing goes into a 90 degree turn so that if it is pulled, it cannot yank the connection out, thus saving it from being destroyed.

If you break it yourself removing/plugging in the cord (why would you?), then practice better technological bedside manner. lol

[LinusTech]

Mini B is not nearly as fragile as micro USB. I've got no problem with the cable implementation on this product.
