Macintosh Gaming Controller - Plug-in to use any PC gaming controller on OS X - http://www.usboverdrive.com

Filed under: General — SDBlogger @ 9:21 am

When I bought my new MacBookPro late last year, one of the reasons for the decision to get a Pro over the regular MacBook, was the fact that the Pro comes with a dedicated Graphics Card, and quite a good one to boot. So my thinking was, if I have a good graphics card I should be able to get a cool Race Car game, which I found in REDLINE, which I have been playing for the last month. Its a great race game, maybe not the best, but lots of fun.

So in my quest to wiz my virtual Mini around the track faster, I thought to get a USB Steering Wheel. Logitech make great ones. Only problem is that Logitech does not support the Mac. HUM… Enter USBOVERDRIVE. Alessandro Levi Montalcini the genius behind this project. I hope he gets very rich from all the people who are going to buy his $20 plugin so they too can enjoy the thrill of using a Joystick or Steering Wheel on a Mac. I tested the Plug In with a Logitech 3D Force Joystick, its works great, although not the best controller for a speeding mini, but nevermind… IT WORKS!!!

So if you wanna use a gaming controller on a Mac, head on over to http://www.usboverdrive.com
