You know the thing that would help is a foot operated joystick for movememnt (replacing ASWD keys). Anyone know of anything?

I have some DDR pads I think I'm going to make an attempt with once I get into the habit of doing my homework before the day of class... :-x

Specifically when pressing the ASWD keys to control movement. I am sure that this is the result decades of gaming. I have been on the market for a solution. I found this: Belkin Nostromo® SpeedPad n52 You can see a picture of it here: Picture of the n52 After talking to some of you, I want to try and find the best solution. We have some great times ahead, and I don't want to miss them because I am in pain! Any advice or ideas for us old timers is appreciated. I have been using the Nostromo n52 pad for over 3 years now with total success. The problem my friends have noted about it, is that the keys are harder to press at first than a keyboard. However, your fingers actually adjust and strengthen and it's so ergonamically correct that I can't imagine ever using a keyboard for gaming - especially because you can map the keys to do anything you want. As far as getting older and arthritic...well I'm 31 and can't say I can totally empathize on that matter, but I'd definitely recommend a nostromo to anyone interested.

In other words, not something I need to spend 60 bucks on. The one I have is perfectly fine, and I actually prefer having a wired controller versus wireless. Running out of batteries during a critical moment is NOT an option for me, and never have liked anything wireless. If they wanted to have one called "Tournament Edition" then they should have added at least 6 more buttons to it - That's probably what's most needed in the n52, IMO. However, if you've just become interested in the n52, or just found out about it - you might as well get the newest thing.
