Delta six controller

[arga]

I did a search on "Delta Six" but didn't find anything. Sorry if it's a dupe.

Here's a hands on for the beta:

It's unclear from the video and write up but it sounds like in the final version pitch and yaw will provide input for the right analog stick and roll and the stick on the fore grip will do the left analog stick. Anyone know anything about this?

news to me.

cool idea but it would make gameplay so crappy it would pick up my desk and throw it out the dam window. movements look far to slow to be any good for pc gaming at all.

so i say it is a no-go for pc because it would be so much slower to do complicated movements/actions that are fairly simple and fast to execute on the keyboard and mouse.

for console it would probably be pretty cool but still not a good idea for competitive play.

I'd have to try it to believe it. Plus adoption will probably slow at first, but i'd wait till more games would support it off bat (that and several revisions have retooled the bugs, because they're obviously will be alot of kinks they forgot to work out)

Problem with kickstarter like the pebble is they rush and give you a product that's great but not up to snuff (unless it has a programmable rom or firmware to upgrade)

I'll wait a few more years for this type of game controller, http://www.hammacher.com/Product/76966

Of course you would need this to go along with it:

then you would need a decent pair of VR goggles:

looks like that early 90's dream of VR might be close.

FYI, the lead engineer for those goggles was killed in Santa Ana today. I guess there was a high speed chase and he was driving through an intersection and the suspects ran the red light and hit him. Too bad, he was only 33.
