I've been using the xbox gamepad (on xbox-linux, but I think it's 
adaptable to plain USB with simple rewiring). It's an especially 
flexible controller. The 6 pushbuttons are continuous pressure 
sensitive. And its 2 joysticks have buttons. And the joysticks do not 
have a dead zone in the middle. I had to change some constants in J. 
Sarlos external not to make it crash on the 14 axes of this controller.

I still have to check the wireless xbox gamepad clone from Logitech. If 
it is as good as the xpad, it could be an interesting base for wireless 
sensors.
