Highly subjective. The MacAlly iShock II is quite nice although somewhat large. I also have a MacAlly iBallPro and a Griffin PowerMate as potential game controllers. Freeverse has a game out that's controlled via iSight.

Speaking of which (sorry to horn in on your thread)... Does anyone have a driver to allow Macsense's Funpad and Funstick to work with OS X? I have two brand new devices here, and can't use them because I didn't check to see if they were compatible. :^( Their website says that third party drivers are available, but I can't find any.

Very easy to do the key setup, press a Button on the gamepad and the gamepad key on the program will highlight then you will be able to choose a key for it to react to. > > iMac MacOSX USB Firewire > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > check to see if they were compatible. :^( Their website says that > third party drivers are available, but I can't find any. > Use USB Overdrive, it recognizes any pluged in USB Mice or GamePads. > Very easy to do the key setup, press a Button on the gamepad and the > gamepad key on the program will highlight then you will be able to > choose a key for it to react to. not always - and not in all applications > > Use USB Overdrive, it recognizes any pluged in USB Mice or GamePads. > > Very easy to do the key setup, press a Button on the gamepad and the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > not always - > and not in all applications The apps USBOD doesn't work properly with are typically messed up. They're usually missing at least one of the pieces of information used for uniquely identifying applications, the CFBundleSignature. Every game that OmniGroup ported is missing the unique identifier, yet their regular apps are setup properly. You can get around this by giving the apps a fake CFBundleSignature. Inside packaged apps (right click on a 'broken' app and select Show Package Contents) there's a PkgInfo and Info.plist file. Open each up in a text editor and replace the ???? with a 4 character string of your choice. Preferably something that's related to the app name and hopefully unique. Once it's set, you launch the app at least once and then hopefully USBOD will recognize it as its own app. Sometimes a relogin or reboot helps. Really, I will save this article for future use in case i have a problem, so far I had no problems yet. > > > Use USB Overdrive, it recognizes any pluged in USB Mice or GamePads. > > > Very easy to do the key setup, press a Button on the gamepad and the [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > then hopefully USBOD will recognize it as its own app. Sometimes a > relogin or reboot helps.
