What controller do you use? - Keyboard, Guitar, etc.

i just bought a ps2-usb adapter (from radioshack no less, which works fine btw) and am borrowing my friends guitar until i can afford to buy either an sg, or a shredder

[FetteWorst]

Here is finnaly a pic of my sweet gh2 controller^^.....i've got a speedlink ps2 adapter....just googelt for ps 2 adapter....and i even don't have to use some tools to get the strumbar to work YAY!

I use a Double-Range Freedom V. It's very good for everything but star power. I find that doing the solos on the little buttons and nailing them all impresses people a whole lot more because it seems more "real".

[HeruLuingul]

yeah, I wanted that one, but I got the normal freedom v instead. my parents weren't gonna spend $10 more for 5 "useless" buttons. I like my blue one anyway.

Well hadn't you 10 bucks laying around ????? i mean you could have asked your grandparents or so...

[HeruLuingul]

christmas gift, I didn't have much say in the matter. I say "double range freedom v", they go for the cheapest thing with "freedom v" in the name.

[FetteWorst]

oh well still better than nothing ^^(having a Job is quite usefull :p )

I rock with my keyboard! Although I which I had the money for a GH controller :>
And a wonderful picture of my keyboard :>

In FoF I play with the keyborad, but in GH I play with theregular ps2 controller

[The Muffin Man]

I've only ever played Frets on Fire, as I'm a cheap bastard, and I quite enjoy my Dell compact keyboard. And dang, dani, don't you have a problem hitting your F- keys on that big honkin' thing?

[SketchMan3]

i just made this it works ok but i had to take it apart 2 times already to fix the wires on the wammy bar

Hey, I saw that guitar toy at Wal'Mart, XD. Each button has a preset riff or drumbeat that it plays. lol.

I have almost the same type of keyboard that dani has. And I use the "`1234" keys to play. With short fingers. ^_^

[dsk]

And now I play FoF with a ps2/pc controller lala

EDIT: I just saw sketch's post... That guitar would make a nice case for a franken-tar... Ideas coming! (old keyboard, toy gutar, patience...)

[jus@]

1+1=2... dsk is a noob so he uses a noob controller... Any other ways for a shortcut? Maybe a program that plays the song itself. Or then maybe just photoshopping the points and the stars. I promised to stop in the other topic but i guess im in a bad mood right now..

Just got the wireless red octane at EB ($59) and the Radioshack playstation to usb ($15) ...works perfectly!!!! no joytokey or autokey or anything...running vista ultimate rtm also all's well.....

So for any of you wondering this setup seems to work great so far.

i can even control the menus from the guitar!

:laugh:

I'm using a Wii-mote with GlovePIE, and boy it's though sometimes. Especially when you need to fret chords (more than one button) since the primary controls are under the same button (d-pad).

I'd wish someone would come up with a better layout, because I tried to come up with something, but it just didn't work all that great, it made it even harder because I had to run my fingers over the complete lenght of the Wii-mote, and that is no biggy with a real guitar (I own quite a few) but it suck with the remote, because if will fall out of my hand when I do that..
