That guy is awesome haha, great video. I'm in the age bracket where I had no clue what the Power Glove was, pretty sweet though Nintendo didn't exactly give up on any sort of motion control though!

I'd say that he should just attach a smart phone to his arm and make an app to control the camera, but buttons are nice. The tactile feedback lets you work without looking at the keypad. I animate with a mouse with 14 extra buttons for just that reason.

Yeah I have seen some crazy master classes with artists using a Nostromo pad, they even have an alternative "thank you" button for there twich feeds

I've looked at that one, actually, but it's so different I'd want to actually handle it before dropping the coin. I use their Naga and a 3d mouse atm.
