    Bought a logitech video game controller from game stop (couldnt get PS3 controller to work with Vista) which looks almost exactly like a PS3 controller. Set up XPadder and table ninja hotkeys and i just gotta say wow why did i wait so long to do this. SfSick I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a aching wrist or have their hand constantly falling asleep while playing. Very sweat.

    But then how to I berate the fish when they give me a bad beat?

    Or yell at stars for turning on the doomswitch?

    Or tell FTP that the penguin avatar is faggy?

    KEYBOARDER 4 LIFE!!!!!

    I have an ergonomic mouse, chair and keyboard and my wrist still hurts when I play.....this seems like a great solution for me. Would u mind explaining a little bit about xpadder and ninja hotkeys as im not too familiar with them.

    yeah its pretty easy just download xpadder and table ninja FT or stars whichever you play on. Not sure if you can have both running. Then you can assign keys on your keyboard to the video game controller. Then go into table ninja and assign the same keyboard keys you picked to different poker actions. I use the 4 main buttons bet, call, or fold then i use the left analog stick to cycle tables and the right analog stick for bet sizing. Then i use the Dpad to go up or down in BB increments. Then the R1 and 2 and L2 and 2 i use for my 3 bet sizing and 4 bet sizing ( goes by BBs) and squeeze size. Practiced at 2 cent 5 cent rush for a while till i went back up. Picked it up within a half hour and im loving it. Highly recommended. Not sure how it works for MTTS though hardly ever play them and when i do i havent tried table ninja with it yet. But theoretically it should work for mtts cause it goes by big blinds so it should work fine just gotta get used to sizing. I use different percentages of the pot and then just go up or down from there if need be
