I just read about this on Pokerati. it's a new wireless poker controller that works on most poker sites. If it makes multi tabling any easier i'm all for it. They're not for sale to the general public yet but I already preregistered for one. Looks pretty slick.

Hmm. I wonder if enough people pre-register for this, that it will actually go into production and be made.

The pic you posted looks like it was done in Adobe Illustrator, which made me think it might be some kind of scam but I found a pic on their site with an actual model, and links to articles on their site. They say they don't give your info to third parties, but then why would they ask what your favorite poker sites are?

Depending on their pricing point I can image this thing selling like the George Foreman grill has. Too bad it looks like they're just marketing it to poker sites. You'll probably be able to get this thing through Frequent Player Points or something.

I signed up for info a while ago, but the info they sent out says that it will be $79.99 which is just too much imo.

I think this is a waste of money. I think you would look like a nerd using this thing when you are playing online.

I would guess it would be to make the controller more adaptable to the most popular sites, wouldn't you think? And also to market to other players on those sites.

$80 seems pretty cheap to save all that extra energy you're exerting navigating that rollerball.

If they would only come out with a machine that automatically blinks your eyes and you'd be set!!

I'm pretty sure there are already controllers on the market. I saw one that looked like a remote in a christmas issue of bluff, or PokerPro...can't remember for sure. I'll look for it when I get the chance.

This looks pretty cool. I wonder if it can show stats and odds. I might get one if they're cheap and it knows whether or not I am about to do something stupid. Maybe I can program a boxing glove to come out of the center and prevent something stupid.

That would be very good, does it have to be stuck in front of the computer, and my life much easier, could play more comfortably and perhaps to improve the results ...

I was reading on the site and the tilt button will lock you out of your poker room so you don't tilt off all your loot. Talk about lookin' out for ya.lol

As long as you don't hit it accidentally!

The TILT button would be better if it tilted your opponents. And as long as I have a wish list, how about WIN and SUCK OUT buttons as well? ;)
