If you haven't seen it

I thought this was pretty interesting and as mentioned in the article it reminded me of the old Steel Battalion control.
While it looks impressive, I wonder if it would have any practical purpose for hawken beyond the sheer immersive feel. One thing they've assured is the controller is fully reprogrammable and has a keboard which helps give it flexibliy beyond hawken. If they add the stand alone Joystick idea that would make the whole set-up much more desireable.
I'm on the fence about this sort of product. I imagine it'll feel great used alongside the oculus rift but from a competitive standpoint I just don't know enough from experience if it would be worth it.

When I've launched onto the battlefield, torn my enemies to shreds. I stride through the field and listen, I see a ping. I quietly take my time moving into position, it pings. I see him...but he doesn't see me. That feeling of making someone feel defenseless in that moment. It is glorious!

As far as gimmicky accessories go, I like it.
It's very, very appealing that you can use it beyond Hawken and if they include a standalone joystick, I think it'd actually be a pretty good purchase.
My only real problem with it (besides the fact I'd have no room for it) is that I can't see myself aiming better with a joystick than my mouse.

Joysticks never add anything other than "immersion" unless it's a flight sim.

I'm so buying it. Not only for Hawken, but also to use for Kerbal Space Program. I'm a sucker for cool peripherals.
