Think about this in a FPS game: you could control your movement with the tilt/pan and control your aimpoint with the mouse. That would rock.

Unfortunately, it appears that "ergo mouse" has no sensors hooked up to the tilting feature. So it is just a useless feature that will hurt your wrist.]]>Nov 20th 2009 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/Nov 20th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/Nov 20th 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/
Think about it, you are tilting the top of this device to move - how is that different than an old-school joystick?

Maybe it would be good enough for mobile computer for those of us that don't like touchpads. Or better yet, this could be cool if it could be modded to work in a 3D environment (i.e. using a regular mouse for input, but using this mouse to tilt the 3D camera)]]>Nov 20th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/Nov 20th 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/smartfish-ergomotion-mouse-fights-off-rsi-with-a-bit-of-wobble/Handshoe Mouse by Hippus

I would like to clear up a misconception in the article.

The fact that multiple muscles are being recruited decreases the fatigue that ordinary mouse use cause unless of course you are using a 20 pound mouse. Using more muscles to move an object will always makes the task easier this is a medical fact.
