EPTBut as to your question as to whether it's faster/better: No.
The inherent design of mouse movement vs stick movement means the mouse will ALWAYS be faster and more accurate than a stick.

I have a hard time imagining this being worthwhile, but damn, that's pretty sick :s Would love to see some vids to see it in action first hand. | ||

playing a MOBA with a joystick seems fairly possible though. only controlling 1 unit and no macro could be done well... | ||

Oh wow that's some pretty serious analysis man. You should make an article or something that shows the difference and proves that mouse is actually better than the joystick. | ||

But since you don't seem to understand. For controlling a cursor, a stick is inherently mechanically worse than a mouse. A stick must be held in a direction and WAIT for the cursor to scroll to the desired destination. The position you want to hit is based on the amount of time the stick was held. + Show Spoiler + (which is why sticks often have acceleration to try to compensate, which mouse users often hate because it screws with their mechanic) (the distance gets screwed by acceleration, hence why mouse users often don't like it) Being able to pinpoint move the mouse say, 1.5 inches, for it's desired destination is more accurate and faster than holding the stick and waiting say, .5 seconds, for a cursor to scroll there. As I said, the inherent design, the non-relative mechanic of estimating distance vs the relative mechanic of estimating time, means the mouse will always be more accurate and faster. | ||

I am thoroughly entertained. | ||
