For example, internet browsing gets really interesting with that: Cursor movement with an analog stick is quick to get accustomed to, scrolling with the second stick feels SO MUCH BETTER than tapping page down or rolling the clicky scroll on my mouse, and tab switching with trigger keys just feels awesome!<br /><br />ControlMK made my Google Reader experience so much more pleasant, kind of like reading a newspaper: no clicky keys or mices, just me leaning back and a comfortable, ergonomic gamepad in my hands. <br />I believe Linux has some solutions for that too.<br /><br />I wouldn't say that my Logitech gamepad was my best 15$ spent on technology, but it's close, really. :)Tomaszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477844421204281952noreply@blogger.com
