Ok, you all misunderstood what I was trying to say, which means I said it badly.
What I was hinting at is that though the mouse is currently the best form of input for a lot of games (ANSI the reason why I don't have a console, I don't like gaming without a mouse), does that mean we should stop trying to find other forms of input device?
I didn't mean the age statement negatively, just to point out we've had this tech for a while, so maybe it's time to look for other ways to go, instead of 'building a faster horse'.
In 2060 who knows what will be the top form of input for gaming. It might be this controller, it could still be the mouse or it may be something we haven't even dreamt of yet.
I wasn't suggesting that we stop trying to come up with new tech. In fact I'm quite interested in what valve is trying to do. Despite not even trying it I think their track-pad controller will be better than analog stick controllers.
When I said track > analog sticks I didn't mean laptop track pads but valve's. However not even valve is suggesting its better than the mouse for games like counter-strike or dota2
The joystick was invented in 1908, but it is still in fighter jets today, isn't it? Who gives a shit how old it is?
