i've worked with a predecessor of this thing, and it was nice. the

downside of it is that it's an integrating controller: you apply

constant force or torque (=constant displacement) along any axis, and

it's interpreted as constant velocity of your pointer. that means it

behaves like a joystick, not like a mouse. very nice for intuitive

manipulation of objects, but hitting precise values or locations is

quite hard.
