Device puts both hands on the PC wheel

Old News is NO News!: I used something similar during my days as a CADD operator in the early '80s.
Menu picks by the right hand using a multi-button puck on a menu tablet and cursor tracking with a joystick in my left.
This permitted me to get work out about four times faster than someone using the same program with puck only and about 100 times faster than anybody could with Autocad. Not their fault, Autocad is just slow to use compared to real CADD tools.

Anyway, to this day I still use joystics and trackballs with my lefthand so I am looking forwarad to this kind of support.; Posted by: Outside T. Box Posted on: 03/26/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
