Has anyone ever used one of these?

Here's a cut and paste from the site:
---------------------------------
If you play FPS games then you need the CLAW™. The CLAW™ is designed to be used, in conjunction with a mouse, to provide the ultimate controller set-up for First Person Shooters (FPS).
---------------------------------
I was thinking of ordering one, but wanted to get some opinions first.

Thanks in advance for any info.

I have seen it before I am not that impressed. Their claim that you can have 9 programmable buttons at your reach is blah when you consider that I have about 11 keys from my keyboard at reach.

It does look very ergonomic, but you can get an ergonomic keyboard as well.

With the CLAW™ you will be able to perform manoeuvres that are difficult, if not impossible, with a keyboard.

This I would have to see to believe. I am still not sure how they can make this claim. You can program a key to perform a set a actions on a keyboard.


you will be able to circle, strafe or rocket jump with ease. A light press of a button will be all that's required to unleash a world of pain on your enemies

Um i don't think the key to circle straffing is your keyboard (or your claw) I think it is more in the mouse.

Rocket jumping is a little more difficult in Quake if you have never done it, but how wil the CLAw help you?
