Can't remember where I found out about this thing, but immediately wanted one, and thanks to a very helpful German Ebay chap, it was in my possession soon afterwards !
Made of high-quality machined aluminum - I opted for the "limited edition" stealth black model - the Griffin Powermate looks like a solid volume knob pulled right off the front of a world-class stereo ! That's it's "default" function, as an external volume knob for your computer, plus mute/un-mute by pushing it, but it does so much more !
It's programmable, so you can quickly and easily configure it with the simple interface - see my uploaded picture - to execute any key dommand, in any application. You can also adjust the sensitivity (eg scroll speed) for maximum control.
There are 5 functions - rotate left, rotate right, click, "long" click click & rotate left ...

The main disadvantages of this for me is when I'm playing Call of Duty and I'm hiding behind an object and without realising have begun slowly moving out into the open. The second most annoying thing is at night when I'm trying ...
I have owned a playstation 3 for a number of years now with a sixaxis controller. The controller is extreamly suffisticated as well as all of the normal buttons which are used for conventional gameplay it also contains a gyroscope which monitors its position and movements in six axis, clever hey. The sxiaxis motion control offers a new way to play games and makes things more interesting and more challenging. For example when playing a racing game with a friend and we get a little bored we may play a game where we just use the motion control which makes it alot more challenging and adds alot of amusement.
Some of the best games I have found to use with the sixaxis include Super Rub a Dub very entertaining no matter who you are.
As time goes on the use of the motion control wil get better and better and will include better refinement ...
