In this project, we create a joystick-controlled laser by connecting two servos to a joystick and using this setup as a pan-and-tilt controller for a laser pointer.

After our preview some time ago, Andrew has had some time with the Asus Chakram mouse - which comes with a joystick onboard.

I have started this joystick controller experiment inspired by the need of a simple DIY joystick which could deliver greater flexibility in the possible designs. Hardware component basis is very ...

Nextick is a new unique controller that can be used for games or replace your regular mouse and offers a macro keyboard and 3D joystick mouse for a completely different way to interact with your ...

Makers Justin and his friend Brett have created a fantastic DIY joystick-controlled laser drawing machine powered by an Arduino development board. The framework has been constructed from laser-cut ...

While at CES I try to avoid getting bogged down by dozens of random gadgets, and this time I mostly succeeded — but the mouse reviewer in me was intrigued by Lexip's new gaming mouse that's also ...

The Lexip 3D mouse is a bit of a Frankenstein’s monster, cobbling together elements of a mouse, joystick and controller into a device that almost gives an unfair advantage in a fast-paced match.

However, we could imagine it being useful for remote control of a very old system that uses a non-standard mouse that is otherwise difficult to emulate.

Arduino announced today a new controller, the Esplora, which includes more prebuilt features and could be a step for Arduino toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market.

Final Thoughts With Lexip’s new gaming mouse on the way, the 3DM-Pro allowed me to try a new kind of hybrid controller-mouse the likes of which I’ve never experienced.
