As an old **** I’m not a gamer but I decided I’d like a go at Oolite and VegaStrike, remembering Elite fondly from my BBC micro days.
Accordingly I got a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick and it works Ok but it seems like I’m arm-wrestling the thing.
On the Beeb I was introduced to an analogue joystick - instead of a great big whole-hand grab it was more like a little swizzle stick, manipulated by finger and thumb. Rather than trying nudge, nudge, nudge-back to get the roll right to dock in Elite it was just a matter of moving the stick to the right angle and holding it there.
Is there anything like this (USB connected) today that I can hook up to my SUSE (10.2) box?
- I suppose I could take the 3D Pro apart and stretch/remove the springs :\
