Anybody know of any available PC gaming controllers like the WASDIO?

http://matterdaddy.com/products.php

I'm looking to move into the twenty-first century (well, at least into the relatively late twentieth century) and replace my current FPS setup of trackball (left hand) for aiming and joystick for everything else now that yet another Logitech joystick is dying. I'm looking for a left hand device I can use with gross motor skills rather than typing for movement, hopefully with some buttons on the hand piece rather than the base.

Any ideas?

Have you looked into something like the Logitech G13 or Razer TartarusChroma/Orbweaver Chroma. The thumb controlled stick/d-pad should make a decent substitute for a trackball in most situations.

I've got something like that somewhere, if I haven't given it away. Definitely not the Razer, might be the Logitech. Didn't care for it - the thumb wheel movement isn't in line with your character's movement and by default, it's really designed to be another set of WASD keys for movement. I'm hoping to find something more like the WASDIO, something using gross motor skills rather than finger-pressing for movement.
