USB Joystick for Surround Panning

Post by JSmith1234567 »

Hi.!
I know there have been various discussions about this, but can anyone recommend a USB "joystick" or "game" controller to do some quick "wild" surround panning in DP?

I'm not of the gaming generation, so please excuse the ignorance…

Are they true 360-degreee panners, or are the four axis?

Do they mechanically spring back to center?

Is there one that is more simple and works better than the ones that look like they were designed as props for the "Alien" movie?

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
