[QUOTE="dmil666, post: 278862, member: 7265"] I use an X-Arcade Tankstick too, and my solution to key mapping was to use the programmable memory function and an old PS/2 keyboard. Once you remap the buttons and save it in a new memory bank, it's there all of the time just like the stock layout. It works really well for my wants. I don't use the trackball at all. It's interesting to see your layout, it's very different from mine. I've swapped the physical positions of the trackball mouse buttons with the programmable ones so that the programmable ones are the furthest back and I use them for one set of flippers. I have another set of flipper buttons on top next to other buttons for nudging, plus the controls you need to play TPA. For Zen tables, I changed the Zen in-game mappings to match TPA's, so everything is consistent for me. I've also been playing around with other brands of arcade buttons and switches. X-Arcade's stuff is ok, but there are better choices out there. GroovyGameGear has some especially nice buttons in several styles, my favourites being their CLASSX buttons which have a MUCH better feel over the stock X-Arcade ones. The CLASSX buttons work with regular microswitches of various activation weights or two types of leaf switches. Good stuff. It's good to find another pinhead using a Tankstick. You play with it on your lap, right? Like a reeeaal man? [/QUOTE]
