In mame, any game that needs 3 or more analog axes (hydra, for example) could use a trackball (steering) + a spinner (throtle) for the three axes instead of two joysticks.
A non-Mame spot might be in 3D CAD / 3D navigating programs. Have you even tried using one mouse on these things?
Normal mouse movements = pan left/right & up/down,
Button one + mouse movements = draw/select/edit,
Button two + mouse movements = rotate left/right & up/down,
Button 1 & 2 + mouse = circle object selcted,
Ctrl + B1 + B2 + mouse = zoom,
or whatever the settings are, sheeze..
It would so much better to have two mice/trackballs for this: one for panning & zooming and the other for editing, or something. Of course, then all the AutoCAD gurus would have to relearn how to do stuff :), but for me, I wish there was a CAD prog that could do two trackballs.
: : not just in MAME either - anyone think of anytime where one would need more than 1 trackball or spinner?
: : just thinkin' & plannin...
