The Thrustmaster T-Wireless 3 in 1 Gamepad joystick which you can buy on the internet for around $22.00 works with Nexremote once you alter the joystick .ini file so it shows up as a joystick Nexremote will recognize. Let it be said that it is not a joystick that is recommended by Celestron because the code isn't in the Joystick.ini file. Once you open the Joystick.ini file and MAKE A BACKUP COPY! Then open the working file and be sure to KEEP THE EXISTING CODE that is written at the top in that file and do not alter it. If you notice that is made for the joysticks that Celestron recommends. Simply scroll to the bottom and add the attached code, close it and test it and it should work fine. I have tested it with my XP computer and it works great but use it at your own risk. If you find Nexremote doesn't open or freezes once you have altered the file, simply control/alt/delete and stop the program, open the Joystick.ini file and simply remove the code you just added or replace it with your backup file.

Hope this helps! smile
