Azeron gaming keyboard

Does anybody have some experience with the Azeron gaming keyboard? I think that this could be a cheaper version of a space mouse. I am curious if the thumb stick can work for rotating the part in the 3d space.

    Looks pretty sweet for gaming. Not really a comparison for the space mouse since the space mouse is 6D and the joystick would only be 2D. The point of the space mouse is that it feels like you are grabbing your model and physically rotating it with your hand.

    Onshape hasn't (that I'm aware of) opened up any special API for controlling the models view in a smooth way for a joystick or for another 6D device. I have a few product ideas sitting on the edge of their seats, but can't do them without a way to control the model similar to the space mouse end point.

    But if anyone could provide the right info on this type of integration, it would be @GregBrown

    I know that the stick only has 2 degrees but I like to think that the number of shortcuts outweighs the lack on the stick. I think just being able to rotate the part/assembly around the center of focus would be enough for me in most cases.
