[mythtv-users] Recommendations for wireless gamepad for MythGame

[Iohan Reyes]

Thanks for the recommendation... where can I get these for close to $15?
I just did a cursory pricegrabber search and the cheapest I could find
was $31.99 shipped...

I've got 4 of the Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2's. They mostly make  
me happy. They sometimes interfere with each other but since I only  
typically use 1 or 2 at a time, they work well. The only thing I had  
to do was "yum install joystick" so I could calibrate them and they  
worked out of the box. udev rules will help keep them on the same / 
dev/js# after reboot. Oh.. and I think I paid $15 each plus $35 total  
for shipping the 4.
