I couldn't imagine this being useful... the thumb is the slowest finger... this would be a nightmare for multi-tabling. Single tabling might be better but still not optimal? Sitting up generally keeps you focused on what you are doing, wouldn't reclining do the opposite? Seriously though, how are these working for you guys?

It's different, interesting and takes getting used to. I'm still working toward that. Kind of like it though. At least I think I do. Too early to tell really.

Here is another mouse that might be interesting. You don't need to roll it on a surface, you can wave it in the air.

jamby, ive used those mice and they're nice once you get used to it..

as per the gyro based mouse dad604 posted, i couldnt ever get used to it... if anyone wants one cheap just let me know. I thought it would be cool to have a mouse that i could use in the air, but it didnt work well for me.

So my mouse arrived in time for last Thursday's CT game. I tried it for the first 45 minutes before I gave up - it just wasn't working out. The ball was too loose and I had to make sure I kept the "mouse" horizontal or the ball would move, but the mouse cursor wouldn't. And I just didn't feel like I gained anything from using it - if anything, it distracted me enough to where it porobably hurt my game.

Anyone else have any sort of review on these? Sorry for the thread revival but I just got a notebook and the pad mouse is annoying to say the least. This looks like a great option. The pad on the notebook is OK for general computer use but I was looking for something better for my P* tournaments.

I got the fellows from buy.com as well as the linksys wireless router (I got tired of snakeing off my neighbors) unsecured router.

Can't wait for the stuff to get here!

I don't use mine at all any longer. I tried it out a few times and it was awkward to use so I gave up on it. I keep thinking that I'll have the luxury of time to try it out again and actually give myself time to get accustomed to it, but so far have not.

Sorry to hear that the finger trackball isnt good. I am trying to figure out a good solution for playing online while walking on the treadmill (so I am not a total lazy A$$). I was hoping the fingre ball would be the soltuion. Maybe a small regular trackball will work in conjunction with a number pad
