I've always wanted a thumbball keyboard.. Put a trackball just below the space bar, with mouse buttons on either side. You could direct the trackball with your thumbs (either) and if you put matching mouse buttons to left and right, you could control it as either a right or left hander, without having to move your hands from the keyboard. Lousy for gaming, but perfect for generic interface usage (data entry, forms, browsing, etc.). ]]>Apr 17th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/Apr 17th 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/Apr 17th 2008 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/]]>Apr 17th 2008 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/Apr 17th 2008 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/

So if it isn't broke then why fix it? Wasted money in my mind.

I think most people know that only reliable voice command and/or simultaneous gesturing without devices will be the only things to supplant the current input devices of mice and keyboard.

I admire the wii gadgets but they are for games and solve a different problem.]]>Apr 17th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/Apr 17th 2008 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/
It's not clear that this can't be better, though if you have to flap your wrist wildly like a certain Gyrations mouse I've used, it will be too tiring for serious use as a primary pointing device. But in conjunction with a touch screen, I can see this being truly useful; you can make the occasional motion that needs to be precise, or when too far to reach the screen, and you've got alternate buttons available (with your thumb). And it doesn't use desk space to slide around on. The main trouble (aside from the shortage of touch-screens in use) is to make sure it can be donned and doffed quickly and easily; if it takes 5 seconds to buckle on, it's doomed.

But that can be managed, and I'll wait till I see the actual product (if any comes) before writing it off as not demonstrably better.]]>Apr 17th 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/microsoft-patent-application-shows-off-wearable-mouse-concept/
