I haven't used mine in years but I did enjoy it , an excellent solution for 
Descent-like games IMHO.  However, it was a bit awkward as you say - not 
enough give involving how far you could slide or rotate the orb.  I thought 
the spring tension was a bit high also.

Mine came bundled with a free copy of Forsaken so I must have bought it 
about six years ago.
