This project was "completed" several months ago, but i only got around to posting it now. I wanted a better control layout for gaming, but the only option out there seemed to be that folding bluetooth game pad. It looked perfect, except that i had read here that while it does work with the Axim, it did not fit on it. Once i got the necessary money together, i got it with the intention of extending it somehow. When it arrived, i did just that. It worked OK, but it was awkward to hold--and isn't that why i got it in the first place? While not a big console gamer, i am a fan of the way Sony designed their Playstation controllers"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/westfall-20060124-btx50.jpg" /><br /><br />A member of Aximsite has posted on his pretty innovative Bluetooth gaming controller made from playstation parts. It looks pretty neat, and apparently works well with his Axim. If anything, this is newsworthy just because of its W?BIC value!

The only problem I see, is that when you pull that bad boy out in a meeting/classroom their going to know you are not just taking notes or looking at your upcoming schedule. 0X

I'ld buy it in a second. If he could make the holder adjustable for any size PPC it would be perfect.

I have held off buying that other BT controller because of quite a few factors that this design overcomes.

If I was good at hardware I may play around but I am not dleusional at my skills.

Get this guy to start mass producing this stuff. I want one desperatly. With a device like that my daily pocket pc use will at least double.
