Does anyone else use the Logitech Cyberman for controlling Descent?  I 
have worked out a fairly good control configuration for the Cyberman.  
First of all, move the firing buttons to the keyboard.  This prevents 
over-excited trigger fingers from causing unexpected barrel rolls and 
nose dives.  I configure Cyberman button #1 as flares, button #2 as mines,
 and button #3 as rear view, but any functions that are not repetitively 
or frequently during battles could be used.  Finally, the Cyberman is 
configured to control sliding along it's two-dimensional X/Y axis.  
Movement is intuitive, for one moves the Cyberman the same way he or she 
wants the ship to move.
