nice sales pitch, but it's just a mouse with a lot of side buttons.
I can never use 'em, I find myself accidently clicking the side buttons all the time.

The concept is certainly cool. I can think of some nifty ideas for RPGs.

Good for people who may have a disability like one arm or missing fingers on one hand

I don't think the touch wheel will be as precise as WASD not to mention you may find it difficult to move and shoot while frantically moving your mouse around. Not a bad idea, I just don't see it replacing WASD.

Nearly everyone but you. I know some people who still use the arrow keys, and others who insist on the keypad.

WASD is a decent system but it's all in what you're used to using I suppose.

wasd is not ergonomic. asdf-space is and it is also where your left hand is supposed to rest for typing. Once I figured that out and mapped keys, my fps scores took off.

I fly with a joystick. I figured that asdf stuff out many many years ago.. when the original Half Life came out.
