Fujitsu-Siemens Space Explorer

I wonder if this will work well for first person shooters (not as a mouse but for your movement WASD etc.)

I think it would as long as the buttons are programmable.  According to the site, it seems this is intended as a mouse replacement, so the buttons might be hard-coded to perform specific tasks, especially right and left click.

EDIT:  I re-read the site, and it's a companion to the mouse, so it might be fully programmable.

Just watched the demo and now I'm really curious. Of course it's dirt cheap and will have to find it's predecessor(s) on eBay.
