OK I got it working Switching ports did it. Thanks!

So I pulled up Descent and started messing with it...DANG this thing is hard to control!

OK, so I've gotten my Orbotron and my Spaceball 4000FLX and I'm trying to get it working. I downloaded Arduino 1.0.3 and copied the files to hardware and libraries like the readme says. I also set the board to Orbotron 9000. Then I loaded up BasicJoystick and changed SpaceOrb360 to SpaceBall4000 ...

Order placed!

And just to make sure...do I need any special cable or something to change the programming to spaceball instead of spaceorb?

EDIT: I'll be using this for Star Citizen. Am I the only one crazy excited about that game? lol

OK, cool! I've ordered a Spaceorb 4000 FLX. When will the orbotrons be back in stock?

How does that translate in real-world gaming difference?

I was under the impression that the 5000 was slightly better?

If not, I'll just go with a 4000FLX

Do any of you have a Spaceball 5000 (Magellan) that you'd be willing to part with? (I'm having trouble finding one on Ebay for a decent price).

Is this a "real" 5000, or a rebranded 4000? http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Compaq-Space ... 1c33955ca0

OK, so I'm ready to buy the SMD version and a case, but it says they're not in stock :/ When will there be more available?

So you would suggest the spaceorb and a keyboard for gaming? How can I hold the controller if I'm using the keyboard as well? Or do you mean you don't have a hand on each at the same time?

And finally: How does a Spacenavigator do for gaming?

Thanks!

Also, how is the spaceorb for fine aiming? And ...

So would it be better to get a Spaceorb 5000 with USB or a 5000 with serial and use the orbotron 9000?

Also would y'all suggest a 360 or a Spaceorb 5000 for gaming? I think I like the idea of using one hand on the keyboard and one on the Spaceorb. Will that work well?

Thanks!

Just curious...will the Orbotron 9000 work with a SpaceBall 4000?

(I wanna use it for Descent, Retrovirus, I-War 2, etc.)

So how goes the prototyping these days?

I'm sorry to hear that you can't go on your trip, but I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty excited that the new boards are coming along swimmingy I'm looking forward to buying one when they're all finished!

How much will they cost?
