Finger mouse?

[Andrew u.k.]

Hi,

 

Has anyone tried a finger mouse? It looks like a trackball taped to your finger.

I bought one very cheap on the Internet, like $5, but didnt´try it still.

Apparently it works even against your leg, clothes and so, you don´t need a particular surface.

I also had thought using it against the lateral outboard panel of my Warthog throttle.

 

I will keep you posted.

Really quick delivery.

 

I'm absolutely blown away how well this works.

It fits best on my left hand, there's nothing on the throttle that gets in the way, it didn't quite work on my right because of the stick grip (x56).

 

It's easy to move the cursor without taking hands off hotas, scroll works superbly, click the scroll button and then it's just a case of moving the trackball up and down. Mouse buttons also worked well.

 

After using for 10 mins I'd have to say its the best £20 flight sim purchase I've made.

 

Instructions are in French, but it's pretty simple to connect. The on off button is on the back under the left mouse button. It took me a few minutes to find that.

I think that's a different one, this one has a trackball so no surface is needed. I looked at those, I believe that's an optical mouse.

How much button does this have ? Left & right click ? What about scrolling ? Is there any extra button that coul be used for VR zoom ?

Just left and right mouse buttons and to scroll you click a button and then use the trackball to scroll and out.

I'm pretty pleased with it.

 

Works well with vr as you only need to adjust cursor after looking.

Looks good. I currently use a trackball velcroed to the side of the throttle quadrant. Works well enough, but in VR have to turn my head to make sure to look directly at the switch/dial to interact. Presume the same issue with this mouse.

 

I just ordered PointCTRL. For VR, this seems to be most immersive solution yet.

[Andrew u.k.]

Yes, just the same, you have to look and adjust.

 

I've also ordered the pointCNTRL but not sure if I'll get that before Christmas so this is a good stand in.

People of a certain age...I thought the same thing when I read the title of the post. :)

 

 

And back on topic, I have PointCTRL and I think you will find it an excellent interface.
