What if you could throw your mouse away ?

I'm blown away by this video

You would never need to remove your hands from the keyboard with somthing like that !

I dont think I could make graphics with something like that. It would make it easy to draw but Im not sure about fine tuning.

NO more porn joebert? I'm shocked that you could give it up that easily, unless you have invented an attachment that works under your keyboard.

I found it hard enough to get used to my touch pad on my laptop let alone this one.

The difference between this & the touchpad, is that the touchpad is off the keyboard, whereas with this, your hands are the touchpad.

I'd have no problem wearing a little fingertip glove or somthing to act as my mouse pointer if it came down to it.

I don't think I would give my mouse up for anyone! LOL! I would fight to the death for it. I have had the same one for over 2 years and I don't like change, hence why I don't like my laptop

I dislike touchpads (especially the one in my new Vaio -- I can't figure out how to turn it off!), but more often than not, I don't use my mouse that often because I spend so much time working with my tablet.

I acually have one of thows. they can be found at staples for 60 bucks or so.

They are out now!

I think its brill
A couple of problems I can see, is when I type, I type quick. Will this create problems with the camera trying to keep up with the motion.

Also
As I type a lot (Programming) I get cramps in my hand, I dont tent to move my hand away from the keyboard, to give my hand a stretch, this could create the shap.

On the Good Sides
Some disabled people can not operate a mouse, as they can not move they arms easily

I wonder if they would be able to use this technology.
As its the arms they have trouble with, not hands.

A computer is faster than your hands buddy, if you had problems like that it wouldn't be because you type fast.

What's a "shap" ?

shape without the e, sorry

Same here... lol. Most of the programs that I have made had to work without using a mouse for the simple reason that someone with difficulties could use them.

I dont normally use my mouse when working on standard things.

The main thing I need to use my mouse on is Websites.

But flicking screens (Alt + Tab)
Open new FF Tab (CTRL + T)
Open Windows Explorer (The folders) (Window Key + E)
New Email in Outlook (CTRL + N)
Sending Emails (ALT + S)

I could be here all day with hot keys, but you get the picture.

it look great, but it useless for me because i don't want my hand become cramp..actually, i hope to see more interesting development toward mouse..

then, i really enjoy using hot key rather than moving my hand around keyboard like that..
