One of the things that really distinguishes pc gaming from console gaming is the availability of lots of buttons. did you see the wow example in the video? you really want lots of buttons for some games. Well, i do anyway.

I suspect that "lots of buttons" is really just a consequence of the available interfaces. I think something better could be designed.

Is a piano without keys but instead 4 strings and a bow still a piano? You could build a different interface, no question. I'm not sure what the threshold is, but at a certain point, you're not playing the same game anymore.
