I got a Logitech Cyberman 2 a while ago, 6 axes of movement, 32bits per
axis, plus 8 buttons, and wrote an input handler for aube with it:

Unfortunately I've never seen one anywhere else, I think they were made
for playing Descent but didn't sell well.
The MS Command Control (I think that's what its called -- designed for
real time strategy games) looks similarly interesting but only has 3 axes
of movement (one twist and x/y translation) and seems to be widely
available.
