Just wanted some input.

We just made a Joystick Mouse Emulator, we made it for Bosch DBos System, but it can be used with any system software that once used a mouse. Just want to know if any of you would like more information on this, or if you think there is a need.

We have been working with Ingram Micro to release the product, is there any other outlet you feel would benefit with this product?

You can see the device here- http://www.electrone.com/content.php?ref=page_soln6

The device has 30 user programmable keys, and you can twist the top of the joystick to allow you to zoom in and zoom out. I just would like some feedback on this, we have been selling it internationally, and I would like to see if there is a need for us to sell in Stateside.


Any feedback would be great, thanks.

What is the advantage to using a joystick over a mouse?

We found the issue while speaking with Bosch customers. They wanted something that would provide more ease of travel. The ability to press one key to see a camera, with the ability to zoom with one device. They tipically have 20+ cameras that they are watching and this allowed them to switch and control faster and with less trouble. It doesn't 'replace' a mouse, it comes with 2 USB hubs that allow you to plug in straight into the device.

How does your product compare with the Axis 295 joystick?

Ours comes with more programmable keys, 30 on the side, as well as 8 buttons around the joystick itself, 4 with LEDs. Which can all be programmed by the user. It's a little more sturdy then the Axis, and brings a lot more to the table, it is along the same concept though. The keys also have a LCD screen, which is Bi-Directional. The unit not only comes in USB but also TCP/IP.
