I really didn't like this controller. It's a nice idea, but it doesn't go far enough. Basically you can queue keystrokes - but it's rare for that to be especially important
For example take buildings. You have to click/otherwise select what you want to build, drop it and select another one. That generally involves the mouse, commands of which are not programmable into the Strategic Commander. So...since you have to remember which button does what why not just use the keyboard? If it could record mouse movements too then it would be great - splash a village down with a button click! As it is, it's not worth the money. The movable top is..well...OK. The zoom and camera rotation command is easy but scrolling the map with it is tricky as it lacks the precision of keys.
Nice try though...
