Why not go a step further and make a fighter type joystick with both a button on the top, and a button for the forefinger of the hand on the stick and then the rest with the two thumb buttons. But in a game you don't want to be going, "ahh, lets see, do I jump if I hold down these two, or do I throw a rock???" I like the keyboard method. After all, Flight Simulator (YUCK!!!) uses the keyboard, and it is somethink like the all time best selling computer game! Mark Cookson
