game controllers for multi-tablers

Which do think is better suited for NL - game controllers or Hot-keys?

[theredbaron]

I like my _cordless_ logitech rumble pad (twin joysticks and lots of buttons). I can walk around, make a snack, answer the phone etc, and still click 'fold' from across the room (yeah, I can see that well).

Once I Got the basic stuff down, I added a 'skid pad' to control the betting. So basically, EVERYTHING is one button press, except selecting a table buyin which is TWO button clicks, but still VERY fast. I can fold, check/call, raise, all in, etc and in combination with MTH, I never have to look away from the bottom right hand part of my screen, which truly rocks.
Later,
The Baron

Here's a simple script for using "AutoHotKey" to play using only your keyboard:

Pah. Mine's better. Doesn't move the mouse pointer around to do clicks. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Hi Tigerite. What buyin SNG's are you playing these days ? How is England ?

[tigerite]

$33s currently. England is fine, very nice weather even the last two days.

Tigerite,

How do I change my bet value from my keyboard without having to use the mouse to click on it?

Just press num lock.. or use the advanced script, I'll PM you it.

Changed my mind, I'll post it. Right, when you press + now instead of automatically clicking the button it'll highlight the raise amount, and put numlock ON. To make the raise press ENTER on the numpad.

Sorry to bring this old thread up again so late, but I have to admit that I never got the raise part working. The problem appears to be that focus changes when I'm 8 tabling, and the raise value is sometimes selected and sometimes not. Can anyone help me get this thing to work finally?
