Review Information & Comparisons Of All Controls For Online Poker
Standard Mouse 
 |
The Bad: Sitting at a desk can get boring, uncomfortable and unhealthy for eyes, wrists and back. Poker players sit at computer tables longer than regular office workers and even they experience major wrist and back pains and/or suffer of weak eye sight. Nearsightedness (Myopia), Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, back pain, joint pains are just a few muscle strain injuries caused by overuse of a mouse. The mouse for online poker definitely causes many bodily harms. Overall Impression: Switch to a better, more fun, comfortable and healthier alternative. |
The Touch Pad
 |
The Bad: Unless you are a touchpad expert, you may have difficulty pointing to the poker action buttons and can get quite annoying using this finger coordinated device for longer durations. Overall Impression: A touchpad may be okay if playing for 1 or 2 hours, but if you're playing for several hours per day, you'd be better switching to something else. |
Poker Mouse
 |
The Bad: Much like an ordinary trackball, the cost is much too high with hardly many benefits. Difficult to control especially for online poker using the trackball to point to various poker actions may get tedious. The convenience is missing in this product. Overall Impression: Save your money for something better. There are several better alternatives at a lower cost. |
The Keyboard
 |
The Bad: A keyboard is a keyboard afterall. Unless it's wireless and a specialty keyboard, it's still big, bulky and not designed for poker playing. Average users may have quite some difficulty or near impossibility learning to reprogram their keyboards as an online poker control. Overall Impression: A decent alternative to using a mouse, but definitely not the best. |
Lite Control
 |
The Bad: Laser is pretty much useless unless you have a cat or dog to play with. Buttons seem to wear fast on this device. But the 2-year manufacturer warranty accepts upgrade options so it may be a good place to start. Overall Impression: You would be wise to spend a little more money and get the Plus control. |
Plus Control
 |
The Bad: This control is quite small and many buttons may take time to get accustomed to. Overall Impression: With poker control as well as movies and music, this makes a great value. |
Professional Control
 |
The Bad: No movie or music controls. For no apparent reason, this product has been removed from the shelves. Manufacturer tells me it will be available again next year or so? I guess it wasn't selling well compared to the Lite or Plus. Overall Impression: A very good professional poker tool and controls 4 poker tables. Price point is comparably very good and shipping is free. |
The Controller
 |
The Bad: This poker control is designed around sports and simulator game controllers. It may lack the convenience and comfort for playing online poker. The fold button (most commonly used) is placed at bottom most position making an awkward and uncomfortable grip for the thumb. Overall Impression: An idea for the online poker market but with few benefits. |
Duo Controller
 |
The Bad: No bad features found yet. Overall Impression: My personal favorite because I always play 2 sit'n'gos at a time. Controls 2 simultaneous tables with ease and is great for hold'em tournaments! |
Multi-Table Controller
 |
The Bad: A little small. A larger design might have made this one more comfortable to use. Manufacturer claims a release of a bigger "Multi-Tabler 2", size of a keyboard with up to 8 table support in the future. But they didn't say anything of a release date. Overall Impression: A good item designed strictly for multi-tablers. |
Nano
 |
The Bad: Limited buttons and functions. Well suited but controls just a few poker actions. Although it should be better than the ordinary mouse, keyboard or any touchpad. Overall Impression: A great bargain and may come in handy. Company claims there will be a promotion: "the nano will be free for all online poker players". |
Universal
 |
The Bad: A little on the expensive side, but these days gas, tax, even a chocolate bar seems to cost too much. I wouldn't wait for this one though. Who knows when it will be released because the expected date is so far down the road. Overall Impression: Newest technology on the market I'm sure... well, coming on the market I should say. This gadget is sure to hype up a storm in the poker controls industry! |
