Perhaps a little late to add this comment, as nobody will likely bother reading it, but if you get arm or shoulder or neck pain, one of those vertical mouse dealies is a great idea. A bit weird to get used to but get used to it you will, and it will relieve so much pain. If you are unsure whether it will help – next time you are using your mouse and you feel pain, just try rotating your hand so it is on its side, feel how much more relaxed your entire arm and wrist are.

I love the power glove. It’s so bad.

I will not make any jokes. Hasn’t this been tried before and been an epic fail?

Wait, what?

It took ‘em five years to come up with this?! The concept doesn’t even feel right mechanically. How is this less RSI and straining than a keyboard? Try pretending you’re using one intensely for about 30 seconds (think WoW raid or DotA) and you’ll see my point.

@ Vinraith

look here for a mouse that will relieve your wrist

i would like to try one of these, their concept realy makes sense, that with a normal mouse you twist your arm and wrist and with theirs not.

Great another pointless controller. How do these things ever get made, I mean who bets the fortunes of their company on making a controller in the form of a glove?

About this Pu “Whisper” Liu chap. How exactly does one become “famous” for playing a mod of an old RTS game? I just don’t buy into this whole pro gaming thing at all. Are the countries that spawn these people, like America and Korea, really so excessively rich that they can afford to pay people to sit around and play computer games? What exactly do these companies get back for their investment in sponsoring these potatoes to sit around all day and play games?

So they get to stick the name of some gamer, who’s only heard of inside of his little pro gaming circle, and that means naff all to anyone else, on an advert for their latest joystick, sound card or whatever. Take Creative and their Fatal1ty range for instance, which they have to keep explaining and reminding people, is named after a pro gamer. They could have called it anything and it wouldn’t have made one difference to their sales.

For a crapload of sponsor money I’d advertise an USB hamster cage.

I do actually own an absurdly tiny desk. So maybe this isn’t such a bad idea.

I still want a game called “Peregrine Glove”. Damn Brent Baier for denying us!

Dang that thing must be smelly after a 3 hour TF2 session.
