EDIT: currently sitting at $426K and 6 days left, here's the stretch goals (unlocked upgraded microcontroller, so that's really nice):
Of course, unlocking BOGO would be awesome.

This seems decadent.

What's this and why should I care ?

Top compatible games: Minecraft

Okay, but seriously, this feels overblown to hell.

[The E]

why does this idea keep coming back

[0rph3u5]

Because motion controls keep failing? 

Sometimes I think that kind of mouse is designed by someone severely averse to motion of anything but their hands. There is a case for something like it for people with actual limited mobility in their arms; but as a mass market project this seems overdesigned.

That's not trying anywhere near hard enough.

Basically combines the best aspects of controllers and mice.  I snagged one.

Honestly, the joystick built into the base seems the worst possible idea. If you've ever used a "3D Mouse" before, you'll be well aware how difficult controlling so many degrees of freedom with just your wrist is.

This is the new Star Citizen Controller, right? So you can mouse aim and steer with stick!

If I wasn't clear; you also have regular mouse functionality (dragging), as well as the 2 joystick axis. 

EDIT: updated OP, have now unlocked upgraded microcontrollers, also, a picture is worth a thousand words:

that's exactly what qaz is trying to explain to you, you're trying to control 4 different degrees of freedom (mouse drag axes+joystick axes) with your wrist alone which does not sound easy oh why am i bothering i'd be as well trying to explain this to a wall

I understood most of that.  Mind explaining the last run-on sentence there?  Didn't quite catch what that one was about.
