Neat, but I still prefer my gaming mouse & keyboard.

Interesting.

Wish they'd done a picture-in-picture on this video, though..

..in particular, I'm not sure I get the up/down bit. Would have been nice to see a close-up of how you do that with your hand.

By the look of that thing, I've zero idea how that's going to be better (or more immersive) to me than my mouse and keyboard.

I'd really need to see it in action, to understand the x,y,z axises uses, and the other functionalities--including response and ergonomics.

I want to see it in action.

Thanks for the post Tod69!

I have one of these. I use it with a 3D CAD program, it works great for that.

I'm not sure if it would be good for SL or not, but I will certainly give it a try.

This still makes me want to get a Dance Pad (like for Dance Dance Revolution) and try it out for SL.

They make PC versions of the game, so I'd assume the dance pad works as a joystick, which could easily have the keys re-mapped in the Control Panel.

The only thing I could find on the 3DConnexion website said available in SL in mid April.

I'll certainly try it and report back when I can.
