Re: Is this controller legal?

You're going to have to deal with a few other technical issues to use one of those. It uses a sensor bar (kind of like the wii, but with 3 points instead of 2). The accuracy was not fantastic, and the bend switches in the fingers are touchy. You need to be more than a few feet from the sensor bar to get it to read properly.

A usb adaptor to make it act like a normal joystick should not be impossible, but it will need thorough testing.

Do you already have a glove? I sold mine ages ago.

Great idea though.
