On a related note, I just bought one of these very nice controllers called a gametrak. It is basically like two 3D joysticks but instead of sticks, it has strings which you can clip on to things to track them in 3D. The cheesy promo video gives you a good idea of what you can do with it:
http://www.in2games.uk.com/corporate/press-item.php?pressid=5 I used one that Jonas Hielscher let me borrow and I plugged it in and it just worked with [hid]. I just got the one I ordered, it is a "PlayStation 2" controller, I am not sure which Jonas' is. But with mine, it shows up in [hid] fine, but I don't get any data from it. Anyone know, is there something special about PS2 USB controllers? .hc On Mar 12, 2008, at 8:12 PM, Derek Holzer wrote: > Should just be HID protocol.
