ok, i guess this could possibly go into the windows os section, but i thot it belonged more in here, i was wondering if there was a way to set ur joy stick up so that it acted as the mouse of your comp.I just think it would be totally awesome to have my mouse sitting there, and ppl try to use and and would be all like wtf... and then i could use the joy stick for fun :D
 
**** dude. Joystick is so ****ed up. The only fan you can get from it is...
Ok no matter. Do be a fool. Modern gaming mice replaced Joysticks foreva. My MX510 wich i use with Steelpad4D can beet any joystick.

Hi there, OCForums is a peacable and friendly place, I would suggest that if you would like to find a "home" here, it would benefit you to moderate the attitude and the language. Personal insults are especially inappropriate and unwelcome. Please take a moment to re-familiarise yourself with the Forum Code of Conduct http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=115345

You could get a remote control for comp too... it'd be funnier if you were 6 feet away or in the next room :)
You could just use a wireless mouse... That would be interesting hook up a regular mouse and a wireless mouse. Then, when someone starts typeing, move the cursor around from the next room.
 
my gamepad has built in mouse function (driver-side) its a interact hammerhead-fx, but the wireless mouse idea... classic.

how about a wireless keyboard? they sit down to type and suddenly the computer starts getting "frisky"
 
there is a mouse "rubber nub" on my X-45, however it only worked once, long, long ago...would be cool to do the joystick thing as well, but as has allready been mentioned, im actually running 3 mice, and its bonkers enough allready, depending on which one wants to serve me the best. 1. old school rubber ball mouse
2. cheap logetech optical
3. wireless microsoft mouse
maybe time and money better spent on finding one mouse that works for me and the computer, but there is some fun to be had with the idea.
 
Wireless mice are fantastic - also try VNC for playing pranks :)
