| Moving Mountains With the Brain, Not a Joystick | | 2008-06-08 05:04:30 | | Novelties : By ANNE EISENBERG
STILL using a mouse, keyboard, joystick or motion sensor to control the action in a video game? It may be time to try brain power instead.
A new headset system picks up electrical activity from the brain, as well as from facial muscles and other spots, and translates it into on-screen commands. [...] | | By: ArticlesModern | | |
| | Saitek Aviator Dual Throttle Joystick | | 2008-04-30 21:11:00 | | This post is a review of the Saitek Aviator Duel Throttle Computer Joystick.The Saitek Aviator, like most on this site, is a flight stick. The Aviator is perfect for games like Microsoft Flight Simulator X and other similar games. This computer joystick has a lot of great features availabe, including:Dual throttles12 completely programmable buttons3D rudder twistFully programmable with SST software includedDual HandedUSB interfaceSince this is a USB joystick, if you are using a PS/2 port, then you will need an adapter. This gaming joystick is also compatible with PCs on Windows 98, 2000, XP, vista and some select Macs.In closing, this joystick is really great for its price but it still feels a little "sloppy" and "shaky" but its nothing that you can't control. So, if you are in need of a cheap alternative to some of the more expensive Saitek or Logitech computer joysticks then this is a great choice. But, if you are looking for a better flying experience in your favorite simulator, the | | By: Computer Joysticks | | |

| Saitek Cyborg EVO Force Joystick | | 2008-03-01 18:34:00 | | This post is a review on the Saitek Cyborg EVO Force computer joystick.The Saitek Cyborg EVO Force is an adjustable force feedback joystick with customization options. It allows both right AND left handed people to use the provided Saitek Smart Technology (SST) to find an optimum joystick position. The Cyborg EVO is complete with a rapid-fire trigger (holding down the main trigger will result in a continuous stream of fire). It has 5 different fire buttons, 3D twist for rudder control, a lever throttle, 2 shifting buttons, and 4 base buttons. It's single spring gimbal mechanism has a 3 position handle adjustment to be able to suit all hand sizes. The Cyborg EVO also has a single spring function for games that don't have force-feedback recognition.The Cyborg Evo is a great joystick and feels really "solid." It feels like Saitek actually put a lot of work into getting things "just right" as well. Along with the included Saitek customization software, you will be able to configure this jo | | By: Computer Joysticks | | |
| | Hotrod Joystick | | 2008-01-25 00:06:00 | | This post is a review on the HanaHo Games Hotrod Joystick.The Hotrod joystick is an arcade-type joystick for computers. It is designed to look like original full size arcade games you used to find at your local gas stations and such -- whatever happened to those? :(. Anyways, the Hotrod is connected to your computer via a PS2 keyboard port on the back of your computer tower. If you don't have a PS/2 port, there are PS/2 to USB converters that are cheap and can be picked up at just about any local electronics shop.This computer joystick was designed for the explicit purpose of playing old arcade games, and it does it spectacularly well. One of the reasons it exceeds so well in this category is because it uses real, commercial grade arcade components that look at feel like the real thing.One thing that really sets this computer joystick apart from the rest is the fact that you can play with more than one player, so you can play with (or against) your best buddy. Also, you can play games | | By: Computer Joysticks | | |
| | Logitech Attack 3 USB Joystick | | 2008-01-17 18:33:00 | | This post is a review on the Logitech Attack 3 USB Joystick.The Attack 3 is a purely minimalistic, Mac and Windows compatible, USB ported, budget computer joystick. When Logitech constructed the Attack, they took only the basic features that every joystick must have and made a cheap, but extremely reliable joystick.The Attack has 11 programmable buttons and a rapid fire trigger. Like always it has included with it the Logitech Profiler software which makes it almost too easy to assign specific tasks and keystrokes to certain buttons.This joystick has a symmetrical handle so it will fit either a right or left hand, which would be infinitely easier than using your off-hand if you were born left handed. It also comes with, like all Logitechs, comes with a one year warranty (even though I suspect you won't need it).In conclusion, if your in need of a computer joystick to "tide you over" until you get enough cash to score a new one, then this joystick just might be for you. Or, if your just | | By: Computer Joysticks | | |
| | Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick | | 2008-01-17 18:09:00 | | This post is a review on the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro USB Joystick.The 3D Pro is a Mac and Windows compatible USB ported joystick. It's design is used primarily in flying type games such as Microsoft's Flight Simulator X and can even be used in games like Battlefield 2 to pilot jets and helicopters.This computer joystick comes (like all Logitech joysticks) the Logitech Profiler software which can be used to easily assign different actions or commands to specific keys. Logitech's Profiler software isn't anything revolutionary but it definitely gets the job done (Especially considering the Extreme 3D Pro is a 20-30USD joystick).This joystick is pretty "basic" in all categories, but it does whatever "basic" task it has quite well. This controller is meant for those who still want to have a lot of fun with this type of controller but don't want to pay an arm and a leg.The 3D Pro has 12 conveniently placed buttons, eight-way hat switch, twist-able handle, and rapid-fire trigger.

| | Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick | | 2008-01-17 16:23:00 | | This post is a review on the Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless USB Joystick.The Logitech Freedom 2.4 joystick is made with flying games in mind (But definitely not limited to). The "2.4" in the name stands for 2.4 GHz which is the wireless part of the joystick which gives you 20 feet of uninterrupted range without lag or dropouts. The Freedom's smooth, brushed aluminum highlights really sets off this joystick. The wireless on this model really comes in handy when you have a cramped setup like myself, or you just want to have top of the line equipment (For some reason it feels much better to gun down an enemy on wireless than it does with wired =D).This great computer joystick works an extremely long time without needing a change in batteries (at least 50 hours of gameplay with the three included AA batteries). It has great response and has 10 programmable buttons. Also, another thing I have to commend on this unit is the way it feels in your hand; it really feels good and my hand doesn't t | | By: Computer Joysticks | | |
| | Saitek X52 Flight USB Joystick | | 2008-01-17 15:55:00 | | This post is a review on the Saitek X52 Flight Control USB Joystick.As the above picture shows, the Saitek X52 joystick is a controller that was built specifically for flying games. It was created based off of valuable customer feedback from the X36 and X45 models and I must say it addresses all of the problems with the previous models flawlessly. This flight joystick features 23 buttons, three 8-way hat switches and seven control axes for perfect movement control. Also, the throttle and the joystick are separate which I find extremely useful on my small, cramped computer desk.Look at the software part of things; the X52 also includes programming software that allows to to customize the joystick to suit your specific needs. This practically eliminates the need for a keyboard during your flying games; keeping your hands right on the joystick, where they should be.Moving on, this flight joystick looks great. It has many of beautiful blue buttons and an illuminated blue display which is g | | By: Computer Joysticks | | |
| | Atari 2600 Joystick TV Remote Control | | 2007-05-16 21:01:52 | |
Overview
I wanted a simple remote that could be used to easily control the volume and mute the TV when the phone rings. I have replaced all of my remotes with a single Harmony 880 control which works great, but I wanted something a bit more cool to compliment it. Building the retro remote was fun and simple since the mini remote that I used was very easy to hack.
