Is there a particular brand/model of Joystick that works best with SecondLife? I am thinking that walking, flying, and driving would be much easier (more graceful) with the input controls of a joystick than my uncoordinated fingers on the keys! Peter

Hi Beter, "best" would depend on what you're most comfortable with. A joystick or gamepad that can map its controls to keyboard strokes will work. However, at the current time, there's no support in SL for "analogue sticks" or things like that. You may wish to look at related threads in the forums such as: /13/1d/36159/1.html/111/76/88314/1.htmlBasic guideline is to do your research beforehand and buy from somewhere with a good return policy. I know some use a Gravis Gamepad; there are others out there too. I don't have personal experience using a joystick/gamepad with SL but still use a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical with the extra buttons mapped to extra functions to speed up some things. For example, middle mouse button makes me fly, left side button makes me walk, etc. I've also been curious about using foot pedals, to, uh, walk and talk at the same time.
