Re: Little Blue Box.. New CRio???

I've heard wired Xbox 360 controllers can be used. I personally am not a fan of them as the joysticks do not return to exactly the center when released, so you'd have to program in a deadband for the joysticks, decreasing your range of motion. I would recommend a Logitech gamepad if you go that route.

Re: Little Blue Box.. New CRio???

Yeah, we've used a Logitech one in the past. Very simple and down to earth, works great. Xbox controlers look cooler though We'll have to weigh our options.

Thanks again!
