It's definitely cool, but I can't yet think of a single user interaction where it would be faster than just using shortcuts.

- rando289 13y agoYou lack imagination. Scroll down half a page (which happens to be 27 mouse scroll events, but you don't know how many yet).
- nivla 13y agoI could think of a few scenarios where I wouldn't prefer using the keyboard/mouse: * Controlling 3D models. * When doing presentations. * When watching a movie/video on fullscreen. * Cooking by following a recipe on the computer and not having clean hands.

I could maybe see it being used to rotate the viewport, but even there I think you'd want the precision. > When doing presentations. That's what god made the clicky devices for. > When watching a movie/video on fullscreen. You're going to be close enough to your keyboard to do that and adjusting the time to just the one you want with the precision of the mouse is going to be less convenient than scrubbing through with a gesture? > Cooking by following a recipe on the computer and not having clean hands. Maybe, maybe. I'm not sure how stuff dropping off your fingers might effect it but yeah I could see something like that perhaps. # For most things though the precision you're giving up doesn't seem likely to be worth it in terms of the time saved from moving a hand to the mouse.
- jcfrei 13y agoI agree on the last point as well.
