Hi! Today I went downtown to the big store, to buy a few things I need for other purposes. They sell computer related stuff as well, and I picked up a gamepad which had an analogue mini joystick buildin. I've always thoght that gamepads are glorified arrow keys, but that mini analogue joystick left me wondering ... Anybody here have had any luck using something like that under Linux? For the price of only slightly more than a scrollwheel mouse I think it's a bargain. Could find good use for balancing out parameters in a 2d space. It has quite a few buttons also that could be useful for selecting modes. It is a USB device (great), but the box says only that it works with all versions of Windows known to mankind ... It looks like this: http://www.clasohlson.se/images/products/S/hi/B/326344_X_2004-08-09_121320.… So, could this be an answer to the budget synthesists need for hands on control of his linux based softsynths? mvh // Jens M Andreasen
