BTW ... Patrick - what is that mini keyboard affair I see on the corner of your desk ... can you up more pics and a bit more info (am looking at doing something like this for myself).
Cheers :thumb:

Its a SAITEK PRO GAMER COMMAND UNIT.
Nice if you want some more buttons.

Lee Downham · Oct 13, 2008

Mmmmmmm .... now I like that, and not too expensive either - thanks for getting back to me.

Also saw this at Amazon ... Belkin SPEEDPAD NOSTROMO N52 TE ... same price and looks like it might be comfier for FPS gaming purposes??

It looks like some robot addon

Mark Birney · Oct 13, 2008

Yeh, they would onlt be fully useful in games like Armed Assult, where you Fight, Fly and Drive, basically games that require a lot of buttons (Flights Sims etc.)

I don't really have a rig, that will take the back seat for the moment as I need to build a new computing unit first. My processor is dying :O But sure, when I get more 1337 with carpentry I should consider building a rig. A good program for making 3D illustrations/blueprints of your ideas is Google Sketchup, its free, and its like a simple CAD program.

I have one of these from my old fps days, Very handy to have around. You can record keypress macro's with the included software and assign them to any key which makes some tasks much easier. All keys are assignable any way you wish, and you can setup three different layouts to switch between giving you hell of a lot of options!

Damn that was sick, even fans for speedwind in the hair

I will give you a donation if you let me try it sometime

Ryan Callan · Oct 16, 2008

Damn that was sick. I wouldn't be fast like that though (too far away from TV and I have to be level with it to be comfortable). That helicopter stuff was awesome though.

Dave Stephenson · Oct 16, 2008

yer the distance would be a grievance for me too. but you could always move the tv wall closer if youd gone to all that trouble on the cockpit

Eric Dennis · Oct 17, 2008

You guys have some amazing cockpits. Mine is spartan in comparison. I do not use a wheel and pedals. I don't have a racing chair or custom chassis to mount any of that stuff on. I use a X-Box 360 controller. I hope that isn't a violation of any league rules.... Will have to check on that.

Attila Domján · Oct 17, 2008

Do not worry Jack, we do not require wheels and pedals to join our races, we would not like to limit people with budget to race with us. Just be there and race as gentlemen.
