There is a mouse shaped like a pistol at http://www.monstergecko.com . I had inquired if it works with OS/2 since it is a mouse (an USB mouse but there are drivers for USB mouses for OS/2). They said they did not know if it would since they do not have the resources to try it. They said I could try it and return the mouse if it does not work. I have ordered the pistolmouse from them and am waiting for it to arrive. Once it does arrive, I will try it with an usb to ps2 converter and with just the usb connection. I will inform them of the results as well as posting it and other OS/2-eCS sites.

I think it would be cool to use it with games that use a mouse instead of a control stick. I also suggested an airplane type joystick mouse. They said they would take in consideration.

Please let me know. If it works I will add it to the os2warp.be/usb site.

It has been ordered from the site and should be on its way to me. I will definitely let you know how it works (after letting the Monster Gecko site know).

It has arrived. It is really cool looking. I pluged it into the USB port.I booted my computer. It works. Even the scroll 'bar' works. It is really neat. It is faster than I am use to and more sensitive than my ps2 mouse but I will get used to that.
