Hello,

I am using the Apple Wireless Keyboard and like many I seem to be unable to use it to navigate in Chimera. If you read a little bit in the forum you will find out that a seperate BT-dongle might work. Now I don't want to go buy new stuff and I really don't want to have a USB Keyboard anywhere near my desk, but I do play old emulated console-games from time to time. So here's my idea:

Is it possible to control Chimera with an USB gamepad?

As you can see what I have is a PlayStation2 Controller with a USB Adapter. This usually works plug&play both in Windows and Mac. So I assume it also works in BIOS or Chimera. I don't know much about coding, but my guess is you would simply need to change the keyboard keys to gamepad keys in the script. Is this possible?

I wouldn't mind having a gamepad laying around, plus it's quite a stylish. Just imagine when booting up your computer looks like a video-game!! :D
 
Hey FliccC

I was looking online and wondering the same thing - has anyone gotten back to you on whether this was possible?
