joysticks

[Michiel Spape]

Dear group,

Finally, my turn to ask a question! I know that several here seem to want, or have, used joysticks in E-Prime. Though I don't need E-Prime (or plan to use it), my question is the following: what kind of joystick do you use? 

I know E-Prime (2), much like DirectX (which I do plan to use), support all joysticks that can be autodetected by Windows. Problem is that most things on the gaming market is absolutely horrendously embarrassing; buttons everywhere, spacey show, whatnot, whereas I would rather doubt they have any actual scientific credibility. Scientific stuff, e.g. fMRI stuff looks better, probably works better, but is A) extremely expensive and B) not necessarily well integrated into Windows (which might make programming difficult). I would prefer something USB type, rather than conventional gaming (i.e. midi) or serial port, for easy installation.

Tips, anyone?

 

Best,

Michiel
