DARTH25 sent us a review of a fairly clever little USB touchscreen controller. Think of it as a keyboard where you can move the buttons around and dynamically change graphics. And the "buttons" are a 320x240 12 bit LCD screen. So switching to the railgun involves pressing the railgun icon on the screen. I'm not sure how well I'd like it for action games but for a lot of games with many options, this could be really cool. Of course, its windows only, but maybe not for long.
