I had one of these! I bet it's still in a box somewhere. It worked quite well... but not in anything after WinXP, sadly, and never in Linux.
It worked quite well. It was handy to be able to feel the mouse "drop" into the trough of a scroll bar, and then bump back out again -- you could aim by feel, without looking.
- lproven 3y agoBTW, if anyone is wondering why you'd want to aim at a scrollbar when you have a wheelmouse -- well, as an example, so you can click in the blank space above or below the scroll "thumb" and jump directly to that point in the document. I bought my iFeel mouse -- the symmetrical model, because I'm left-handed -- at discount, because I needed a new USB rodent. Unfortunately for my unit and its advanced functionality, WinXP is also what pushed me over to switching to Linux full-time, supplemented by Mac OS X on an elderly hand-me-down PowerMac G3. So I didn't run it under XP much, and on Linux or OS X, the iFeel was a bog-standard USB mouse with no additional functions.
