OpenOffice Mouse would have been the perfect gaming mouse if it had better styling design and better tech performance.

It has a freakin joystick on the side!

You know what would be cool? A mouse with a new type of joystick that basically doesn’t protrude from the console. Just a dip in the side that is just the right size for someone’s thumb to fit in the dip. And the dip/“joy stick” moves however you move your thumb. Then configure it to have much higher precision than the actual mouse, so that big movements are done by moving the mouse with the arm/wrist while precision is performed by extension with the thumb.

Yeah, using the flat/slide joystick from PSP. Basically this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9426

OR... use the trackpad like Valve's controller had.

I kind of loved the circle pad from the 2DS/3DS and wish the Switch used a more precise version of it

So you want the IBM nipple on the side of the mouse? I like it

Speaking about gaming mice.
Patriot released in 2015 a special edition of the Viper V530 which featured 2 scroll wheels. It perfectly could be in that list.

I had thought about two scroll wheels on a mouse... but not in this arrangement. Was thinking more like side by side. Seem like a long reach for the finger to go for both wheels.

You mean like the A4 tech mouse from de 90's?
