[Bf-funboard] Feature Request - Joystick Support

[J.P.]

I think it would be useful if Blender has joystick support.  As far as
I know, it doesn't.  If it does, or there's a plugin, could someone
point this out.  Thanks.

Anyway, I have a SpaceOrb 360.  It's basically a gamepad -- with a
6DOF CAD controller ball on the left instead of a d-pad.  It attaches
to the serial port and shows up as a joystick.  While it would be
silly to use a regular joystick in Blender, a SpaceOrb (and other 6DOF
joystick controllers) would allow rotating, panning, and zooming --
all in one control.  Not that everyone should go out and buy SpaceOrbs
(they're discontinued), but there would be a use for joystick support
in Blender.

Thanks.
