[PD-ot] gametrak for $10 (nice alternate controller)

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I cc'ed the list since I think it's of general interest.

Mine is called a PlayStation 2 controller, but it has a regular USB  
plug, so I think it's something different.  I did a bit more research  
into it.  They have a custom handshake, some people have done some  
work to reverse engineer it.
