It seems there’s a Kickstarter campaign for just about everything these days, now including a PC trackball controller for the cult of people who think trackballs are the future.<\/p>\n
Peter Von Buskirk’s trackball controller is a regular Dualshock-type controller with a trackball where the right analogue stick would usually be, and – according to the blurb on the project page – it “bridges the gap<\/strong> between typical PC style and console style gaming control”.<\/p>\n You know it really bridges the gap because the text is in a bolded font, although I’m struggling to rid myself of the impression that it’s a controller with some kind of grotesque, bloodied organ stuck in it.<\/p>\n Buskirk is looking to raise $125,000 to fund production of the “I’m fired up about building these controllers for long-deprived eager fans,” he says. “As backers rally behind a project like this, you prove your support and demand for unique innovations. By spreading the word around, we can hope to find more supporters that are eager for something different – something exciting!”<\/p>\n Something that looks like a giant, pulsating eyeball imprisoned in a plastic torture device, pleading for you to “Kill meeeeee.<\/em>”<\/p>\neyeball<\/del> trackball controller, and has already got just over $10,000 in the pledge-bank.<\/p>\n
