We are looking for a poll of the generals on controllers. We have it on our site and the information is actually for another company who is seeking to create the perfect Descent / Core Decision controller.

Hope they have seen the movie Firefox and don't put a swear filter in...

I can just see it now "I thought turn left you stupid arse controller!!" followed by a nice zap to my grape.

A controller for Descent? They had better engineer a wonder of versatility, comfort, and durability, or it'll be a joke.

I look forward to seeing it.

If they make it perfect you should only need one. That darn hat switch is always busting on my controller. It lasts about 2 or 3 months then it's in the trash. I would like to be able to separate the left hand controls from the stick so I could mount them to my gaming chair on each side.

Impossible for so many reasons I don't know where to start

Strongest point is probably that everyone has his/her own idea of a perfect 6DOF controller. Right after that would be a commercial aspect, a 'perfect controller' would not break in the warranty period (up to 1 year). This would make no sense since it would make the controller hillariously expensive as well as saturating a very small market very quickly.

Logitech tried a 6DOF controller, the CyberMan II -- even it's probably the perfect (affordable !) 6DOF controller there is, guess what happened ?

The technology survived in the SpaceBall 5000, a 6DOF controller for the pro CAD/CAM segment. Too bad it's not an HID joystick..

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a 6DOF controller that won't break and that I could use. But I seriousely doubt that it'll happen.

I use a stick with my right hand, and the keyboard with my left.

sorry gren you are so far off base on that one you may as well be coming from the moon.

Thought the poll was the place to drop off info about the setup..
