LGR - Oddware - MousePen Input Device

Overview and demonstration of the ICMS/Appoint Mouse Pen. Why use a mouse shaped like a bar of soap when you could use a mouse shaped like an electric toothbrush? ● Please consider supporting LGR on Patreon!

Oh dude I love your set-up with 3 computers all in a row. I don't think there's unbroken space in my apartment for that even if I got rid of all the furniture.

Didn't know you are reviewing vaporizers now. Oh ... wait.

I'm really digging the SimCity music in this video. For some reason it really suits the subject. Although maybe that's because it's just way too late and all of a sudden everything is interesting and noteworthy.

If that pen had a "directional control" on it, so you could define where "north" is, I'd so chuck out my Wacom tablet and get one of these.

*giggles* I was surprised when I saw it used a ball. Do you know if they actually made optical pen mice?

Yay, first time I'm seeing your new LGR room in a video! Looks great! :) And that pen just keeps reminding of a tablet pen, just with a track ball and clicky mouse buttons, even if it's not supposed to be. The whole concept seems slightly awkward no matter what - probably why it didn't catch on. ;)

This thing actually kinda reminds me of Dragon Quest Swords on the Wii. Although I find the game very fun, because of the limitations of the motion detection in the original Wii Remote, you had to always hold it with the button side facing upwards constantly, no matter what kind of attacks you were doing, otherwise your attacks would just completely miss the mark. This MousePen thing is much the same way: If you try to hold it in a natural way it doesn't work, so it sort of misses the whole point of being shaped to be held in a natural way in the first place. :P

Accessing the buttons seems hard to achieve. This device seems to be midway between a drawing tablet's pen and a regular mouse. Also, I like how you put your computers on the same table. I guess the plan is to have them all ready to be used by having keyboard+mouse (and maybe speakers for those with a sound card) attached ? (in the video it seems only the middle one had keyboard + "mouse"). Are you going to put your Atari, Amiga, C64, and other computers too (that would need a very long table) ? ;-)

Man I waited so long for this thing.^^ Finally I know what kind of shit that shitty thing is. Or is it maybe pretty good? Let's watch the video.

This is really odd ware! The price was really out of site.

Paint programs eh? That will be interesting. We had Dr. Halo when I was a kid, I think it came bundled with Genuis mice. Tangentially related, I used to think that song "Doctorin' The Tardis" by KLF was about Dr Halo. I was a dumb little kid. :P
