Wireless PC controller?

[dcpsoguy]

I'm looking basically for a controller that I could use on my PC.. doesn't have to be anything complex.. just cheap. Something that I could use from my bed to just access my computer.. all it needs is a axel and a button.. Is there a such thing or will I have to go the wireless mouse route?

My buddy picked up the cheap Saitek one from Wal-mart, and uses it from his bed, probably 10 feet from his PC. PS2 style controller, and he also set up a joystick-KB map and uses it as a wireless mouse as well.

Let me clarify: I'm really not looking for a video game type controller. More like in the shape of a real TV controller.. only with less buttons and smaller.

How much control do you actually need? Just to move the mouse araound and click stuff or what?

 

[dcpsoguy]

Yes. Thats about it.

Well, this will do what you're asking, but it's a gamepad.

 

[dcpsoguy]

Yeah, thats not what I'm looking for. Just a simple wireless controller that I can use for my PC to basically browse through my PC. Hate getting up when I'm watching a DVD on my PC, ya know?

Have you checked into those ATI remotes? I think I saw one in FS/FT just the other day.

I think I found that.. but it's a little confusing. Does it only work for the IPod or can it work just for the normal PC? Confused.
