A "gun enthusiast" friend in Texas had a birthday coming up. While shopping through thrift stores I found a gun shaped mouse.. And I don't mean a gun handle, I mean the whole thing was shaped like a handgun. The only difference was the large flat base that the optic sensor was housed in. Packing this strange looking mouse up for him, it was sent from Canada to the US well before his birthday. By the time he got it, it was over a month late, it had been in the hands of Homeland Security for weeks, and not only had they gone through everything in the box, but they ate more than half of the home made cookies that had been made for him. He discovered half eaten cookies in the bags, with big bite marks taken out of them and then put right back in like it didn't matter (because apparently to them it didn't.) So if you're going to buy something silly like this, be *really* careful about shipping it... Homeland Security might eat your cookies.

Gun-mice are great! This is the fourth gun-mouse I've seen, I used to own a MonsterGecko Pistol Mouse (an optical mouse-gun with a longer baseplate and the sensor right at the front of the baseplate, and a massive scroll wheel that went through the whole mouse body, plus a metal trigger; it was well-built but its secondary button was crammed in into the angle between the bottom of the trigger guard and uncomfortable to press. The sweeping movement took some getting used to. I also had a CyberGun P230 mouse, which was moulded in the shape of an actual P230 pistol if you glued one to the top of an ancient late 80s mouse - it was nicer in the hand than the MonsterGecko, but for some bizarre reason it was a ball mouse, not optical, and of all the real gun's controls it used only the trigger, adding in an extra button below the trigger for a right click. There was also a Zalman mouse based on this concept, but I never had or used that one. Both the ones I did have were quite nice to use in general principles, but overall very disappointing, and I always wanted to see the concept done better. For one thing, nobody who makes these seems to have looked at any actual guns. Many guns are covered in controls (hammer, safety, magazine catch, slide latch are common to most handguns) which are designed specifically to be used in the thick of a gunfight, but every execution of this concept I've seen ignores these controls in favour of adding a right click button below the trigger which prevents you from gripping the thing comfortably. Why? Gun ergonomics are varied but basically always excellent, but nobody bothers to avail themselves of the research and development that gunsmiths did already, much of which is long out of patent or copyright protection. Many for example laud the Colt 1911 as one of the most pleasant to hold guns ever made. Near to the trigger in easy reach of the firing hand it has a hammer which could become a button, magazine release button, a slide latch, and a safety which moves up and down and would be perfect to adapt into a jog switch that functions as a mouse wheel, and all of these could be replicated on both sides of the gun to accomodate left-handed people. Another thing that confuses me is the lack of anything like this from major mouse manufacturers who are actually capable of making things properly and creating ergonomically sound designs with a good standard of fit and finish. Even now that many companies make ergo mice, the insistence on buttons rather than triggers (which are, after all, a time-tested type of control specifically designed for accuracy and minimal movement) when pads have used triggers for some time, makes no sense to me. Any gamer who uses a pad knows how pleasing triggers are, so why aren't they on mice? But having played Red Steel on Wii back in the day...THAT is the way to do gun peripherals. I've heard you can make wiimotes work on PCs but never had any luck trying to do it. Logitech, step the hell up and make this! Another thing - this is far from the first mouse to have haptic feedback, back around 2004 I used to own a Belkin Nostromo mouse which had force feedback. My mother banned me from using it as it made my whole desk vibrate and was audible downstairs!

v3 should use an accelerometer for side to side movement, use a 'safety' for a thumb button and give it its own button assignment. with a scroll wheel just above it. Use an actual trigger like you'd see on an airsoft or paintball gun and maybe something like a switch that has a buckling spring for that tactile sensation. also weight balanced throughout. weight alone means nothing for a design like that if it doesn't have a balanced weight to feel more like you're actually holding one it'll feel wrong. (and maybe get a higher end sensor and such so that it can compete better)

@patrikkarlsson946323 күн бұрын
I think combining the mouse motion for horizontal movement with joystick tilt motion for vertical movement would make a lot of sense. The balance between the tilt resistance and the base weight and stability would have to be extremely fine tuned though, so that the base doesn't lift off when tilting, while also not having the handle tilt when moving side to side. Also, you should still be able to do both at the same time in a controlled way when it's intentional... I don't know if that's an unsolvable equation or not, but in theory, that is probably what would feel most natural. In any case, I've ordered this, really wanting to like it despite its design flaws and shortcomings in build quality. A fully developed high quality version of this feels like something that could be more than a gimmick for those who like to immerse themselves in their fps gaming, kind of like flight controls are for flight sim enthusiasts.
@Paxton67290 Жыл бұрын
Granted the build quality seems to be subpar but the idea has some pretty good heft to it. Make it a lightspeed sensor, increase the weight (a bit) and make the mouse buttons like actual mouse buttons and I would probably only use this for fps games. Also the attachment should be permanent with palmrest and maybe allow movement on the y-axis without it detaching (spring mechanism?) for upward aiming.

Cushion for the glide pad add-on, and make it just a tiny bit longer so it's more stable for all angles. Then, I'd have the handle able to angle 20-30 degrees left or right, and back or forward as well so that you can find your own ergonomic angle. Instead of a smooth handle grip, make it a bit more concave. You don't need to concave for each finger, just do one concave so your hands can rest and squeeze easier. Instead of a tiny scroll wheel, make it a long scroll bar. And yes, give your thumb more buttons. Just make sure the buttons are out of the way of your normal and comfortable grip so there are no accidental presses. For the left and right click/triggers, obviously make them optical with a tactile bump. This way, you could always use the tactile bump as a 'full actuation' in later revisions so you actually could have pseudo-analog triggers. If all these are addressed, I'd happily pay a premium price.

Opens the door for an interesting idea. Not a 'gun' handle design necessarily, but something more or less shaped by this ... that doesnt run around touching the mousepad or desk, but floats midair in the users hand ... so it doesnt have to rest on the desk during use, but could if needed. We're talking no desk laser sensor at all. Aim and view control could be by - Tilt the handle from neutral upright position towards the left for the cursor to run left, - tilt right for right , - tilt fwd for down, - tilt backwards for up ... with a range of scroll wheels and buttons very ergonomically placed and congruent for this type of floating use. This would require gyro's wii style (but much better) to catch and interpret this type of movement, and equate it to curser directional movement. Obviously the user will have to be able to rest their forearm or elbow on their chair arm or desk to allow this type of control. This has been done for VR setups while standing, so it isnt new tech, just adapted in a different seated desk format way. Hmmmmm.

For the record I have huge hands, but I usually palm grip the G402 with the heel of my palm on the mousepad (which does give tactile movement feedback!).

I have one of these and I love it. Weird it may be but it keeps my fingers from going numb like a normal mouse does. The feel of the trigger and gun grip is great. I'd say this is better for gaming than for overall mouse use though. I have a Logitech vertical mouse for that but that thing is so heavy that it could never be competitive. I've tried many vertical mice for gaming over the years and this is the best for me. If you like vertical mice I'd say give it a try. If it's your first time trying one it will feel strange at first. It forces you to aim with your whole arm but you can still get that fine control of a normal mouse.

Novint falcon with a pistol grip, although not a mouse, is probably the best implementation of this that I've seen over the years. And legitimately fun to use.

Something like this would be better as a kit, provide half a dozen grip models that people can 3d print or buy print to order so they can pick something that is comfortable to their hand shape/preference. It probably would lack the polish that an injection molded production part can have but I could see buying a reasonably priced kit and printing off a few grips to play with a gimmick like this. It would also allow the company outsource some of the issues in this video, because anyone with tinkercad and a printer could fix several of those issues.

I think the base SHOULD be detachable (an option's always better) but the way it should attach is by sliding the gun INTO the base. The base would be kind of c shaped and "bite into" the gun. That way it'd be secure from table-parallel movement. You'd have to make sure it doesn't detach too easily when you lift the mouse tho

I would pay good money for a perfect version of this. If they could make the trigger simulate the break of different firearms, and make the case more premium and true to form it would be very nice

I have wrist issues and I use an MX Ergo vertical mouse for work and I am confident I am just as accurate with it now that I've had the chance to develop the muscle memory as I was with a standard mouse. This seems much akin to that type of mouse but maybe not implemented as well as it could be. This could show some promise though if it was perhaps made in a higher more premium quality. Side note, due to my wrist issues, I actually use a Gameball trackball for gaming and I am much more accurate with that then I have ever been with any regular mouse. I think that is mainly attributed to the fact that moving just your very dextrous fingers for aiming is much more accurate than moving your entire hand/wrist or even arm. There is a steep learning curve with it though and you need to practice for at least 30+ days of heavy gaming to build up the muscle memory. I've been using one for years and I am known for my headshot abilities in competitive shooters amongst my friends now.

I use a Logitech MX Master 2 for office work and then I use a Razer Naga Pro for everything else. I've used the Naga for years and my most played genre is FPS. I'll take the ergonomics of the Naga Pro over the light weight, tiny mice that are supposed to be better, it's so much more comfortable for long gaming sessions. Plus once you get used to having essentially a macro pad at your thumb's use 24/7, it's hard to give up

Take a mid-range gaming mouse, a trigger assembly from an Xbox controller, tear them down and put them in a gun handle housing, jerry rig some software for it and I bet this would actually be a really brilliant experience for FPS games.

I dont get what he means by saying the ergonomics are so bad, doesnt seem to bad to me there already are ergo standing mice where you hold the it similarly. pretty sure if this was made a little better with a better sensor and triggers and i think it would be totally fine to use in competitive games for a lot of people. Might even be good for people with carpal tunnel.

What's with DPI switches? How many people use these? I always play at low DPI because switching between DPI slows me way down and so is disastrous when unexpected encounters happen. Although low DPI requires more physical movement, that movement feels much more natural and accurate. Closer to a 1:1 of real life which makes developing muscle memory more natural.

Believe it or not, we do not move mouse with our arm, but with our fingers instead. At least that's how I do it. I plant my wrist on the desk and claw the mouse lightly and extend my fingers to move the mouse up and curling it to move it down. Removing that feature and making it completely arm movement only will only tire your arm.

i've been thinking about a vertical mouse design, but im lacking the recources to build a prototype. it is going in their direction, but has much more ergonomic features, with thumbrest, a ball instead of a wheel, which has the input states of up and down just like the wheel. the ball would be positioned on the thumbrest for the tip of the thumb to reach. there would be 2 additional buttons, fully customizable, at pinky and ringfinger and 2 fully customizable buttons for the thumb on the side of the thumbrest. this part would be a magnetic swapable adition, which would let you choose between those 2 buttons, even more buttons for MMOs and a thumpstick. the palm- and fingerrest would be super thin and serve actually as gliding pads. in the package would be a selfadhesive velcro pad with several different options for surface gliding counterparts. wireless charging, magnetic charging/connection cable type c usb rgb would be optional but i think its unnecessary. i don't even care if anybody would steal this concept, just to see it live and be able to play with it, as long as i get one for free XD

That is good mouse idea but sadly they are need more improvement to be built-in, a side from what is saying in this video they should add : 1.Bigger handle aka grip on gun and if possible makes it 1:1 version from Desert eagle or some kind for size comparison 2.Handle need 4 movements articulation, up,down,right,left like in Hotas module which is more better on the terms of long time using 3.Roll button should be built with revolver so even you bump it without realizing it, you need more power (giving a settings using software to adjust how much resistance in there. 4.Trigger rather than using tactile cherry mx, better to use the same one with controller that is already common even fusing it with pulse triggers where is the triggers will bounce back everytime you pushing it. 5.Better materials, sliding pad or even better is plate so it cant move at all but giving 8 rotation moves on the stick it probably better

I would say that a heavier more “realistic” feel is a trade-off as your hand will get tired quickly kind of like weighed vs. un-weighted keyboards/pianos. Would it feel like using a grip strengthener?

Opinion from looking at it. It's aimed at kids, needs to be bigger and more to scale with a 9mm than a .22 caliber. the base needs to be bigger and more sculpted for a hand to rest on it. and should just use Omron switches like a regular mouse. If the price is right I could see this being used more than just for FPS nerds as a good affordable economical mouse.
@luciano12sa11 ай бұрын
I completely see the reason to the aim button being on the side, because in a real gun, there is a "button" there. And if you shoot guns IRL I would assume you'll just press the second "trigger" all the time, because its in the "gun grip".
@Lord_Mad_Dog Жыл бұрын
this might actually be better ergonomically than a standard mouse because your wrist is meant to go up and down, not really side to side. a lot of ergo mice already do this and im glad something like that has come to a more gaming focused product, even if the implementation isnt the best yet. also it doesnt need a rumble motor. the sensor is nice though good on them for actually not cheaping out

I feel like that a personalized tactile switch or clicky switch would be the best one. Perhaps something calibrated to recreate the feeling of a 1911 trigger, or a glock trigger, considering they are one of the most popular handgun models. They could work on the trigger reset and feedback, and the linearity of it, or even create a real trigger, which should drive people to love the 1911 trigger.

Honestly, it wouldn't be too hard to make it better with little, increase in cost. Even leaving it with a plastic body, sizing it up a little and adding an actual spring-loaded trigger over a regular mouse switch (which I believe are cheaper than MX switches), would make a world of difference.
@RoninvdW Жыл бұрын
The wrist precision could be better with this gun, sure you have to relearn the motion. But flexing your wrist "up and down" instead of "side to side", like with a mouse, has more range of motion and more muscles controlling it. It's the same motion I got taught for drumming efficiently.

I would not say I am much of a mouse expert or enthusiast by any stretch, but I would like to recommend you take a look at the Zelotes C18 vertical mouse, it is nothing too fancy but I have been using mine for about 3 years now and must say it is the best mouse I have personally ever used.
@Antares-dw9iv Жыл бұрын
I don't necessarily see this being that great for first person shooters, but it seems like it'd be a considerable upgrade over most exiting vertical mouse designs. In my experience the main issue with those tends to be the main button placement on the side causing frequent misclicks as well as forcing you to rather awkwardly squeeze the mouse to get a secure grip unless you have freakishly large hands. This seems like it would solve both of those problems. Give it a solid base, more familiar switches, screw the gun aesthetic, angle it slightly like existing vertical mouse designs for a more natural hand position and more intuitive movement and you might have one of the best ergo mice ever made.

From watching you play, it seems that a moving up and down is an actual problem, what if they made a tiny gyroscope and added a little bit of tilt to the handle from the base to allow for some up and down movement, just a little to allow for faster reflexes (like using gyroscope in phone fps to quilckly adjust aim on the go then change aim with touch screen after)
