In Response To: Re: SmartJoy FRAG, a threat to online gaming? (MarkHawk) You know, i tried this sucker out, and after tweaking it a bit, i found it worked nicely. There are a few problems, but after tweaking settings on the frag AND on the box, it felt like i was playing a pc shooter. There are a few problems though, but nothing seriouse. If i had a choice between this thing and a standard controler, i dont think i could choose, but if i had to choose between the frag and the controler S, i would pick this thing any day. one thing though, someone needs to make some custom drivers to further correct the analogstick -> mousepad deadzone stuff. The problem is that the xbox analog thumbstick is designed to compensate for the fact that it is a thumbstick. Its hard to put into words.... ok, imagine taking your regular joystick and using it as you would a mouse, the way you move the joystick is in 3-D, but the pc doesn't know this so it makes it dificult for you to move to a specific coord on it s screen. Basically what i am talking about it correcting the corrections that the xbox has built in, to do this one would need to overlay a "punched" grid over the xboxs inverted concave one, allowing you to move the mouse as you would regularly on a 2-d grid rather than a 3-d one. to see a nice color illistration: http://www.flickr.com/photos/90786524@N00/2148898/
