One way I've been gradually weening myself off of World of Warcrap and it's serious decline and re-focusing my efforts on Star Citizen has been to experiment with the Controllers I have wanted. To this effort, I have started a project called "Joystick Rehab" which is focused on taking the DA15 joysticks we loved from the Wing Commander era and bringing them with us into Star Citizen by adapting them for use with USB. I'll post updates for everyone as I go along, and if you want to help out there is a small forum located at the Joystick Rehab site. With time and effort, I believe this will be a successful project. In particular, I am interested personally in revitalizing not only my Gravis Blackhawk (which I have already done), but I want to revive a Gravis Firebird 2 for Star Citizen which will give me the feel and controls -I- want. I hope my efforts prove useful to all of you and that if you in any way want to help out you'll get in touch.
