"... I was rather skeptical that the analog sticks on the RumblePad would
make sufficient substitute for a much larger joystick, such as my Gravis
Firebird2 (which is certainly showing it's age). However after several hours
of missions in X-Wing Alliance (hey Joanne, you should be happy that I'm
expanding my horizons ;) ) my mind is certainly changed. No doubt the sticks
on the RumblePad do take getting used to; the difference between moving
one's thumb as apposed to one's entire hand to complete a maneuver is quite
large. Also having very little tension on the sticks makes over-controlling
a bit too easy. However once you get the feel for it the WingMan does an
amazing job.
I took me a while, but after much tweaking I was able to come up with a
super sweet setup (oooh... alliteration!), using the two sticks for pitch,
yaw and roll, and the pad for cycling targets and components of capital
ships. With the nine remaining buttons I was able to put together all my
weapons and shield controls so that I wouldn't even have to touch the
keyboard. Snazzy =)"
