I saw jimnms post about the TrackIR. It looks really cool. I would LOVE to be able to play pc games again.

Has anyone tried it?

Thats cool! I can see how this would be a huge advantage to the dis community. Pair that up with voice rec software and you could do anything from the PC with the nod of your head.

Hey,
I use the track IR when I am in bed on my side because I can't use my mouth stick, and it beats the hell out of using the MouseGrid function of NaturallySpeaking. I bought it in the hope of being able to play games like MechWarrior or real-time strategies but it never really worked out. It's probably got the greatest potential in real-time strategies as long as you have enough hand function to be able to use an external switch instead of mouse clicking, but you need to couple it with a low resource intensive voice recognition program like game commander. But for first person shooter's forget it.
