game controllers for multi-tablers

[LotsOfOuts69]

Anyone use a controller to multi-table Sng's? My wrist and elbow are killing me from using my mouse. I tried to search a thred but there was only one without any answers. I saw a picture of a guy the other day who was using a controller to multi-table and I was wondering if anyone had any info. Thanks.

also, you may have much better luck with this question in the internet forum. just a thought.

I made a post last week about MTH. If you use that you can multi-table using only your keyboard.

try this, worked for my elbow and shoulder probs, I use it reclined in a lazyboy, with the trackball sitting on a pillow in my lap. This way the only thing you move is you figertips.

but... when some donk sucks out on your AK with A3, dont you have to go through a lot of effort to sit up in your lazy chair to reach the keyboard and type "nice hit fish"??

I use my keypad, and basically don't type anything. Very rarely. Maybe 'gg' at the end.

Yeah, that was me. So my big worry about using only button control is the distinct possibility of misclicks. What I'm going to do, when I get off my ass and go to the electronics store, is get a USB controller with two analog sticks. What I'm pretty sure this will allow me to do is set the sensitivity of each one independently, so I can have one for fast motion and the other for fine control. I also have a number pad for typing in bets because the lack of fine control makes it impossible to use the slider. My current controller looks like a Super Nintendo controller with two extra shoulder buttons. I think others are ahead of me now on this quest for perfect mouse-only control with a game pad.

This works OK for the early levels 4-tabling but gets a little cumbersome at bubble time.

I'm surprised anyone can multitable using the mouse. I did it for about three days before I had to take a week off to rest the tendonitis I was getting in my shoulder and wrist.

AutoHotKeys is my reccomendation. Add a wireless keyboard and you're all set. Anything you can do with a mouse, you can do with your keyboard. The fact that I can play without ever touching the mouse during a session is the only reason I am able to 8-table. Only problem is you can't type notes or chat.

I have basic scripts for Party skins, PokerStars, and FullTilt if anyone who doesn't use it wants to try it out.
