My $10.00 Logitech Gamepad / Pendant

[mattgatten]

I posted a short article on my blog with a video of this thing in action. I love it so far and the price was right. Got it off the big auction site. Here's a link to the article. Jogging with a Gamepad.

All I had to to was install the drivers from the Logitech site on my XP Box and run Keygrabber.exe from my Mach3 installation.

Cheers!

Hi Matt, good demo. I've been trying a Shuttlepro myself. Sure beats several hundred bucks on a pendant.

Your eBay link is not working right for me. What model gamepad is it? Is that $10 with shipping, as I don't see any that cheap up now... Can you post a picture of the face of the controller showing all the buttons, as most of the cheap priced ones sound like they have no where near as many buttons as what you describe. TIA!

N/M, you did note the model (Logitech Dual Action USB Gamepad). Found it for $12.99 shipped on eBay and have one on the way.
