The keyboard... in some ways it sucks, but in other ways. the thing has 100 buttons. that kind of kicks ass, but what I want to talk about is the mouse. The mouse for first person games was stroke of genius.... no wait what am I talking about it was a huge fluke. if you asked any one to design a controller for a first person game. absolutely no one would design a mouse. the fact that a thing designed as a proxy for touch screens due to hardware limitations works so well at the task is amazing. Actually come to think about it the mouse is in many ways better than touch screens. The big disadvantage is that you have to work remotely, but this is easily learned. but now not only do you not have anything(your huge mitt) obscuring the screen, the touch zone can become very precise and it allow for much more touch dexterity with multiple buttons. touch screens do allow for multi finger gestures but these are area not point controls. On the whole I would say the mouse wins, that is. in the cases where you can put a mouse down. Perhaps if they put the touch screen on the back of the phone, and added a few side buttons for touch dexterity. And we might have unicorns. It would be too hard a sell, to the wrong audience. touch screens work well enough... but they could be so much better.
