i've used a couple different USB controllers for this purpose over the years. they're so much cheaper than the cedrus boxes or the pst response boxes.<div>both controllers i've used, and i would imagine all controllers of this type, have an accompanying driver which you download from the manufacturer's website and which allows you to assign a value to the various controller buttons. presses on the controller mimic keyboard button presses, so all you need to do in eprime is set the object collecting responses to look for a keyboard response (as opposed to a response from a mouse or a pst response box). for instance, set the object to accept '0' or '1', and then assign one button on the controller to be '0' and the other to be '1', turn off all the other buttons, and you're good to go.</div>
<div>pretty straight forward.</div><div><a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/pc_gaming/gamepads/devices/301&cl=US,EN">http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/pc_gaming/gamepads/devices/301&cl=US,EN</a><br>

Thanks for this info. Are you using this gamepad with E-Prime? If so,<br>
do you write script to tell the software how to interact with the<br>
gamepad?<br>
