    The SpaceOrb is the best controller for 3D games, ever. Six degrees of movement and rotation from a very responsive controller ball, with 6 buttons that also support chording. They don't make the SpaceOrb any more, but you can still find new ones occasionally on Ebay. I would recommend buying two at a time because the controller can break easily if you don't treat it with respect... Don't yank the controller by its chord, and don't twist give the controller ball extreme twists.

    If you are a 3D gamer, you must try the controller at least once. You might never go back to keyboard and mouse!

    I've included the top links for info on its drivers , use, and interface.

      I have one of the original versions of this controller, with a serial interface.

      I would love to be able to use this again, to play Doom3 etc.

      Please please someone support this device!

    The SpaceOrb 360 was a unique 3D input device popular in the late 90s for gaming, offering precise motion control. While it’s now considered a retro gadget, some enthusiasts still use it for niche applications. If you're into classic gaming gear, it might be worth a try! Meanwhile, if you need to recargar saldo Movilnet, there are various online platforms available for a quick top-up.

    I’ve tried the SpaceOrb360 recently—takes a bit of getting used to, but it’s surprisingly smooth once you get the hang of it. Definitely worth exploring!

    Absolutely agree—the SpaceOrb was ahead of its time! The six degrees of freedom made it a dream for 3D navigation, especially in games like Descent or CAD-style environments. It's a shame they're so rare now. If you're into retro tech or just want to explore tools that enhance spatial awareness (which can also boost your vocabulary or pattern recognition in games), you might want to click here for a neat resource on 5-letter words—great for word games and brain training alike!
