Gaming controllers under Win2k, what works?
This is a discussion about Gaming controllers under Win2k, what works? in the Windows Hardware category; Still waiting for gaming device manufacturers to get with the program as far as their drivers are concerned. . . I am used to using a SpaceOrb for my game controlling needs (Quake3, UT, Half-Life) buy the drivers are not there, and no date has been set for release.
Still waiting for gaming device manufacturers to get with the program as far as their drivers are concerned...I am used to using a SpaceOrb for my game controlling needs (Quake3, UT, Half-Life) buy the drivers are not there, and no date has been set for release.
I have tried a few MS devices: Dual Impact and Gamepad Pro USB, but the software was not fully functional under Win2k, or other anomalies occured.
I am currently considering a new mouse and keyboard anyway, and the right combo might hold me over (or become my mainstay for gaming)...
So, what is a good gaming mouse that works 100% under Win2k (am leaning towards optical, with one of those nice Ratpadz or the like)...
Thanks,

Gravis Gamepad Pro USB works great! Just plugged it in without any installation or anything. All buttons etc. work.
Ditto with a Sidewinder. No software required.
Occasionally I have to re-detect though.

I have had problems with the MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel.
I know of others with the same problem.
Brake pedal doesn't work properly.
