I think we should connect game controllers to all machines so the arrow buttons move you between fields, the 'A' key takes you up a level (in hierarchical menus), the 'B' key takes you into a subordinate menu. So to move between fields, you type some data, then take your hands off the keyboard, pick up the game controller, hit the right or left buttons, then put your hands back on the keyboard. It should make you SO much more productive!

What a terrific idea! You totally should file a patent. Meanwhile, we'll have to use the next best thing: the mouse.

I'm patenting the idea of adding game controller buttons to a mouse and I'm listing you as a co-inventor.

Check this out :) https://github.com/madewokherd/xalia#default-gamepad-control...

(It's intended to allow video games that use standard OS controls to be controlled sanely with a gamepad.)
