The bad news:
- 2 DoF only.
- Not very precise.
I used it for a while then went back to my x52's 'mini-mouse'
Easy fix for too bright LED's : A piece of negative photo film on the webcam (I didn't need that for Freelook but it _must_ work).
Freelook half as good, and is a lot 'weaker' then Freetrack.Yes it only requires 1 led, but Freetrack also only requires 1 LED, you use more to give you 6DOF. Spend the extra 10 minutes fiddling with FreeTrack. Freetrack operates with the game the same as TrackIR, so you dont need it to be assigned to the Mouse Movements for it to function correctly, which I had to do with Freelook to get it working. And even then - it dropped the signal every 15 seconds.
Logitech QuickCam Connect also. Just using normal LED's at the moment. Was considering switching to IR.
