The ultimate gaming mouse.

Post by unholysavagery »

OK so I've had this idea for a mouse with a small joystick where your thumb is so you can move your character around without need of the keyboard but I can't seem to find one like that. Anyone seen something like this?

I thought of it because I'm a hardcore PC gamer and I find the mouse to be a superior controller other then the lack of joystick for walking for more precise control over your movements. Such as walking, running or driving a car. Anyone who has played Crysis or Far Cry 2 for PC would know what I'm talking about.

Not quite what I was thinking, I want a normal mouse with a joystick kinda like that on the side. Or what would be better is a normal mouse with a track ball that returns to center.
