Hi, not sure if this fits your needs but I'm quite happy with my logitech
rumblepad 2, it's USB HID compliant so no need for any special drivers.
Just plug it in and make sure you games can read /dev/input/js0 or
similar...

Hi Folks!
Recently I installed the educational games "Childsplay" into my Freevo box
(as well as PPracer), and I'm looking at other educational games for my
kids. I'm not a gamer, so I'm not really all that fluent in what makes a
great gamepad. I know there are drivers for the Xbox 360 wireless
controller, and some for the Wiimote. I think the Wiimote concept is the
probable better choice, but I'm not sure about the maturity of the Linux
drivers. So, here I am asking for a few opinions before I decide what I'm
going to do, as I have a lot of respect for the expertise and community
spirit of the folks on this list.
Here are my specific questions:
As a general purpose gaming controller, how does the 360 compare to the
Wiimote? (Under Linux or on their native platforms). I know it's apples vs
oranges to some extent, but I'm thinking primarily of general
compatibility/usability with a variety of game types, by non-gamer type
adults and young kids.
How are the Linux drivers? The xpad ones have been around a while, and
use the joystick subsystem, so they are really stable. How are the CWiid
drivers? Does xpad also offer mouse pointer capability?
Anything I've missed? Thanks in advance for any opinions provided, and
have a great weekend!
/Mike
