Title: Axsotic 3d mouse, do you know this guy?
Post by: agodinhost on Sun, 02 June 2013, 16:51:03
I was kinda dating the 3DConnexion mouses until I saw this one:

Axsotic 3d mouse (http://www.axsotic.com/overview.html)

Do you know anything about this guy fellas?

No, but it seems very interesting. Mainly just a trackball with a 3rd axis. Pretty simple, but could be very useful for 3D modelling.

Yeah, I've heard of it before.

Might be interesting to play Descent and Miner Wars with, if nothing else...but I probably wouldn't like it nearly as much for Independence War or Terminus because the rotational axes are more trackball-like than joystick-like. (Which, incidentally, is also what makes it more suited for the former two.)

Yes, pretty simple - I did liked the idea.
It's sad it's way uglier than anything I ever saw in therms of controllers.
But, still, I would like to try it to see how it works ...

I would like to have this, although from the looks of it I'm guessing it's not actually available.

It's not conceptual - but it seems kinda way expensive.

And hard to get. Their site doesn't mention anything about availability or pricing that I could see, so I guess the only way to get one is to contact them and ask.

Yes, that's why I think it's expensive.
It's like a custom made mouse.
