Dr_Worm: Why yes, I am legitimately interested in this because I like giving things chances.
Things like fascism, thalidomide and acute radiation syndrome!

Sorry, I've been watching a lot of Rifftrax lately.

keeveek: I am not that optimistic. It's always nice to try something new, but I believe Microsoft and Sony spent billions of dollars on researching to settle that analog joysticks are the best suitable ways of controlling video games.
Billions? Are you sure? I would definitely think they spent millions but billions sounds like a stretch.

If they actually make progress on the touch pads and haptic feedback maybe they could make it work for RTS games that usually isn't ideal with a controller (at least in my experience).

Awww, it looks like an owl.

I must say that idea behind it (something more precise than analog sticks) is nice. I don't think that it will work in practice, but I will wait with my final judgment until they release this monster.

This looks very interesting. Looking forward to seeing if the execution is as good as the concept.

i was expecting a PS3 / XBOne hybrid! ><

20 straight hours of Justin Bieber. There's a slight chance it'll delete your sanity along with it.

Right here my friend!

To note the haptic feedback and rings should help you find the center... if done right with the right sensitivity this should work... and it needs to AUTO center when the finger is raised like a real controller...

Just looking at it kind of creeps me out for some reason.

It's honestly too big of a change for someone like me. To use it, I'd have to literally reprogram my gaming brain to work with it. There's nothing on that thing that is like a traditional controller; something I've used my entire life.

Considering I have a pretty big hatred of touch screens, I just don't see myself enjoying using it.

It looks decent as a keyboard and mouse replacement for using a PC on a television, but I think it looks horrible to play games with. Also completely useless for platformers, fighting games and maybe anything that requires precise walking, depending.

Also: I hate touchpads.

Maybe it's because I don't want to move into the living room anyway, but I find myself completely uninterested in this. Also it's aesthetically ugly.

Prototypes usually are.

btw. I was hoping for Half Life 3 at least >.<

Who's going to drop money for this without trying it first?

Me? :D

People who are curious or have money to spare. Steam fanboys. Anti-old school groups. Touchpad lovers. I could go on.
