Joystick Mouse Emulator

[Electrone]

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?

[Electrone]

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?

[Electrone]

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.
