I've always wanted a controller with a trackball built in, but I never imagined one this crazy looking. Still, I see the thought process behind their design. Each button has a keyboard key label which makes mapping keys a LOT easier (and improves compatibility by emulating a keyboard). They also have a lot of peripheral buttons for your thumbs, which is always good. For something like Quake I'd use this over an XBox controller any day.
