Magnum Lifer Registered: 01/27/03 Posts: 25479 Loc: Naples, Florida	Just wondering, back in the day a couple of companies made like a keyboard usb movement device that let you rest your hand in it and hit keys for like first person shooters and rts's... they still make those? _________________________ Magnum "Every time I hear/read "Free to Play" I know were going to get screwed in the end with micro-transactions.

I'm currently usin' the Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard, and it's by far the best of the bunch. Just like a good HOTAS or TrackIR, I could probably get away w/ just a mouse and KB, but why would I want to? _________________________ "You know what the chain of command is?

I really don't think your gonna find a controller that'll allow you to move the mini-stick from one side to the other. There's always the Cyber Snipa Game Pad v2 if your lookin' for somethin' a little more ambidextrous, but I've never used it, so I can't comment on it's quality. _________________________ "You know what the chain of command is?

They have some touchpad stuff too.
