That $4.00 joystick I grabbed at a Toledo flea market fixed my whole Doom setup
I had been fighting with the keyboard for strafing in Doom for about two weeks, and my aim was a mess. Then I found a dusty old two-button stick for $4.00 at a flea market off the highway in Toledo, mostly because I liked the shape. I plugged it in, set the fire button in the config, and within an hour I was clearing E1M3 without dying. The odd part is how much easier mapping levels feels now, since I can move and shoot at the same time without my hand cramping up. I keep thinking about all that time I spent blaming my skills when the real issue was the controls. Curious what input setups you all use for old Doom, especially if you have tried building a custom pad from parts.
