I currently have a handfull of [serial] devices that I think I'd like to see
easy support for:
Joysticks (mostly 2-D control):
* BG Systems' Flybox - the most expensive and highest quality of the
bunch - but rugged, lots of inputs, and fairly precise
* Logitech's WingMan Warrior - cheap PC joystick that could be on
everyone's desktop as an alternative to the mouse
Mostly 3-D control
* ... Spaceball - expensive and too stiff
* Logitech's SpaceMouse/Magellan - this is cheaper but not cheap enough
for everyone to go out and buy one
* SpaceOrb 360 - another cheap PC game device that could be on
everyone's desk
I have written some code for Quake to support the WingMan Warrior. I'd like to
add support for the other devices I've listed in a consistent way to Quake and
perfly... All I've done so far is collect some hardware and think lots (based
on previous experience doing VR input devices).
So I'd love to get the Performer 2.1 driver for the SpaceMouse - and anything
else anyone wants to give me. :)
Right now this is got a pretty low allocation of my time - so feel free to tell
me how much you want this, but at the same time don't hold your breath...
