In the early days I couldn't get used to a mouse/keyboard so I jumped on this device, a Panther XL analog joystick and trackball combination that came out in 1996 for games like Quake, DukeNuken, Doom and Unreal. A clan developed around users of the PXL called Assassin3D which was highly ranked at the time. Over time, the clan hired an engineeer to design a small board which was placed inside the PXL to turn it from an analog device into a digital USB device where both the trackball and joystick mimic a keyboard so that it will support any game, regardless whether it allows use of a trackball or joystick. Doesn't make me a star player by any means but it keeps me in the game. The system it's attached to is an older Alienware with a GeForce GTX 745 and a Samsung 32" curved monitor. Highly recommend the monitor which is under $200 at Sams Club. Hunter1948, NumNutz, 7Toes and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
