Re: Using the Microsoft Sidewinder Controller

I'm not sure exactly about the Sidewinder joystick, but as far as joysticks go, I was wondering if anyone has found any optical joystick that works without a specialized driver. I know that we tested two joysticks out two years ago and another last year, and in both cases we had absolutely no luck with getting them to work like normal joysticks.

Even better, I was wondering if anyone had found joysticks that swivel in addition to moving forwards, backwards, left and right.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
