Can someone design and build me one of these? We can split the profits when they go BIG TIME!! :)

I want to build a game pad that will interface with a keyboard.
Basically you lay your left hand (or right hand if you're left handed) on it, it's shaped like your hand and has a programmable button for every finger, maybe two for your thumb. It also has a front / back / side to side axis that it would rotate on for move forward / back / side to side or strafe.
With one of those and a mouse for your other hand, one could kick some major ASS!!

It would plug into your PS2 port and then your keyboard would piggyback off of it

A friend of mine took apart a keyboard in HS. He had the actual board itself wasn't harmed, just cut apart and applied to the outside of a leather glove. Touching different knuckles/fingers together would close different circuits to get whatever key he wanted --obviously very limited, he used it playing games. Our senior year was a total goof off in the computer room during first period. He used that thing and a mouse to kick everyone's asses in UT. It was insane. :confused:

But I want it shaped like your hand (My hand) and ergonomic.

It would rock on a base for the forward/ back/ side /side axis.

Years ago, Viper GTS was looking for this "orb" thing like that. It was a big ball that you roll around. Kinda like a trackball on fvcking steroids. We used to play Descent a lot and he said it would kick ass. He never found it, though. Thank god. I had a hard enough time keeping the score respectable against him anyway. I didn't need anything ELSE to help me lose. :p
