its alright, i guess when i got it, it was an impulse buy... But i do find it kinda fun playing games like "Hitman" and wrapping my hand round someones throat :P Its really funny when you playing a 1st person shooter and u can form ur hand to a gun and pull ur finger as a real trigger.

surfin the net it really cool, u can grab icons and litrally(sp?) click on links and what not.

I used it a few times in photoshop and things like that, its interesting to get use to it, but i loved using it for After Effects and Premeire, editing video and things like that...

It has a slight learning curve to get use to the controler, and u have to keep your infront of the scanner for it to track right... basicly it just needs getting use to.

im firm on the price its very fair, and its in mint shape.

comes with everything you need, scanner, glove, all the cables, and drives, new drives can be d/l off the interweb
