| Post subject: | Joystick/gamepad recommendation? |
Hi All, I would like to get MythGame working for my 6 yr old. I was thinking of keeping it simple, pacman, space invaders etc. I do not have a game port in my front end, but I do have lots of unused USB ports  I was wondering if someone could recommend a USB game pad or joystick that is simple, easy to use and most important of all, will work when I plug it in.
Any suggestions? TIA. |

I've used a cheap Wingman USB game controller in the past without any problems. Haven't played with it for a while, but it did just work. |

I researched this a little while ago and came across several recommendations for the Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2, however I was really only looking at wireless controllers. I don't believe the rumble portion works under Linux but IMO that's not a big loss. I haven't bought one yet (not quite ready for a new project) so take my recommendation with the appropriate amount of NaCl. Martian |

I have several cordless rumblepads, and they worked well. I can confirm that the rumble feature has never worked for me. I also haven't set them up after my last few upgrades out of laziness, so I can't comment on how well they work with the latest versions. I believe cecil has a couple of them though, so I'd imagine they're always going to work with knoppmyth. |

Another vote for the Logitech, works a charm. Setting up Mythgame exactly how you want it takes a little while, but persevere.. my son loves it, so I'm sure your 6yo will too. |

Be sure to report back how it works. I'm pretty sure there is a Logitech Rumblepad in my future (if I can ever find the time). Martian |
