Hmm, I wonder how accurate a gyroscope mouse is. This could turn out to be a cool solution for a silent scope mounted gun (easer than setting up pots for the axis'). I also wonder if the driver is what calculates the mouse position, or if its all done inside the mouse and uses a standard usb hid mouse driver. If so, then this will work on a playstation2 with silent scope. |

FYI I just got an email back from that company saying that the motion sensor technology is a NON gyro based technology that they hold the patent on. |

Did they ever answer the question if you can aim the gun at an exact point (ie works like a lightgun) or that you just aim by use the cursor on screen that moves globally in a similar way as the gun moves (ie works like a gyro mouse)? There are several ways to implement motion sensing (mercury, micro machines, gyros, magnetometers etc). I guess whatever they use is not that important. Trouble is that they seem to hide wat the thing actually does with the technology. And we have to wait for Q2 for the thing to arrive! |

It's not that hard to figure out guys... This is directly from eops... Basically, it is a motion sensor game controller that should work with all type of displays and you aim the target with a cursor. |

There is a trigger button you hold to enable the cursor movement. If you don't release it before clicking a mouse button, there is a good chance the cursor will jump from the click motion. |
