Asus Release a Wiimote-Alike

Posted by timothy on from the sincerest-form dept.

arcticstoat writes "After attracting lots of media attention with the Eee PC, Asus has now turned its hand to producing a motion-sensitive controller like the Wiimote, called the Eee Stick. Looking unashamedly like a copy of a Wiimote and Nunchuk setup, the Eee Stick has two components — one with an analogue joystick, and one with a digital control pad — and both sticks have a rumble feature. The Eee Stick is currently planned to be bundled with various models of the Eee PC and Eee Box, but Asus says it can also theoretically work with any PC."

    Just give me "focus follows mouse movements" and I'll do the rest with my hands on the keyboard thank you.

    Would work great in FPS games to, if I look a little to the left then rotate the view ... Maybe harder for RTS but let me select by holding a key down and move my eyes and we are done.

    If you got the eye movements part how the fuck is this offtopic?

    I don't want to wave my hand around (I have not RTFA), just let the pointer and window focus follow where I look and I'm done. No need for a fucking mouse.
