Mouses already have three axes - up/down, left/right, plus the scroll wheel. You suggest adding a 4th axis, but why? Why not a 5th, 6th and 7th as well? |
|

I think that 3 axes may be the practical limit for what can (and possibly should) be controlled with just one hand. |

i can see some control by tilting the mouse this way and that, or rotating it slightly on the mousepad. I don't know that the two mechanisms should be seperated or not, tho... |

I think a perfect example of this would be modern joystick controlled construction equipment that uses a twisting motion as well as forward/back and left right.(and many have buttons and scroll wheels as well) why not just add a second wheel then you could twist the whole mouse as needed. |

But why do we have to rotate the cursor in the first place? |
