SKU: 2

Features:

  • Small waterproof case with 3 buttons.
  • Substitute for a 3 button computer mouse with scrolling wheel. Move your pointer onscreen by rotating the box.
  • Also can function as a 3 button and up to 6 axis joystick. The joystick is highly configurable.
  • The magnetic sensors work well for calculating absolute position. Unlike gyroscope sensors, the sensors work in absolute coordinates, so no matter how you hold the device, if you point it up, the mouse moves up. The movement is more true; it isn't using the same filtering hacks used on gyro mouses.
  • There is not a scroll wheel, instead this function is implemented by holding a button down and moving.
Due to lack of production, only units without tilt compensation are available now and the cost is reduced.
