Mouse emulation is available for users to experiment with, but we certainly don't intend for TrackIR to function as a mouse replacement. Its primary purpose is to complement the mouse and keyboard with an additional type of control. So, you're certainly going to get better results with a mouse than with TrackIR if you're using it to aim. Our goal for FPS, as seen in the Arma series, is to have TrackIR available for looking around independent from the mouse/aim. We're working with other developers in hopes of integrating this control mechanism in other FPS titles as well.

We're working on it. :) Our API needs to be integrated into each game directly, so for every TrackIR supported game, we work with the developers individually.

how is the response from the developers in general?
What can we do to get more developers to support trackir?
