Comment Re:Tested this at IHRSA (Score 2, Informative) 241

For good measure, I talked to a Gamerunner employee to see if maybe you had used a unit at "IHRSA". They have never been to the IHRSA or Microsoft's health club. So unless you used it at Wireds NEXT fest in Chicago or at CES2006, then you most certianly have no ground to stand on making your claims. I am sorry that you have such a jaded view on this type of product that you would bad-mouth a product that you have yet to use, but I will stand by my claim that in most cases I would prefer (especially while moving my body at all) gamerunners controller to aim more than a mouse. It is as smooth as the nicest mice I have ever had the grace of using, has some sort of onboard processing allowing it to move the mouse rapidly when turned one direction and gain immediate percision when moved back near center, and has a 'safety' of sorts to ensure you dont accidentally look up/down excessively while aiming. All of this makes it quite amazing for aim, quite possibly more accurate than most mice. I used it on all sorts of terrain in Farcry and only early on had any issue navagating difficult areas. Once I was on it for a short time I was able to go on even the most difficult terrain and buildings without 'plummeting off'. As I said, going from run in-game to stopped dead nearly as fast as I could have removed my finger from "W". You are not running full speed to get around in the game (unless you want to), typically it is a fast pased walk to get around full speed in game.
