This is nice, but a PSX or any joypad/-stick pad has a much higher resolution than midi control data.
I happily use a PSX pad through USB on my Laptop for Pd with J. Sarlos external. I have no idea, why it isn't working at Laura's machine, though. It should report something to its outlets, but it seems it doesn't...
I've been using the xbox gamepad (on xbox-linux, but I think it's adaptable to plain USB with simple rewiring). It's an especially flexible controller. The 6 pushbuttons are continuous pressure sensitive. And its 2 joysticks have buttons. And the joysticks do not have a dead zone in the middle. I had to change some constants in J. Sarlos external not to make it crash on the 14 axes of this controller.
I still have to check the wireless xbox gamepad clone from Logitech. If it is as good as the xpad, it could be an interesting base for wireless sensors.
