whoa now that's different!

it's not new, but an improvised version of the idea.

When I saw the first picture: Wow what a dumb idea seriously wow

By the time I scrolled down and saw more pictures: I guess that doesn't look so bad, that could be cool.

It actually does look pretty darn comfy. I think initially I would be tempted to pick it up when trying to move the cursor to the left

wonder if Taran would love this, he has a rolling track ball mice in his desk if i recall correctly , not sure if it's just for that color grading software .

@DrMacintosh, isn't this a ship in Star Trek? 

Yes, yes it is
