The joystick is based on the company's patented Vsense technology, for which it had launched a design kit mid-November this year.

I had a trackball smaller than a marble. In the early days of Windows on laptops, tiny thumb trackballs were common. My trackball's ball is about a quarter inch in diameter. Someday I should make a tiny Centipede cabinet (I think Missile Command would be impossible at that size).
