Hmm... Maybe... The Nav has more buttons, a full D-Pad, and an analog trigger. Sony may have "copied" the WiiMote, but it's a darn good copy for single-handed play.
I must agree on this one.
Although the navigator lacks motion controls ( like the nunchuck ) it more makes up to it with the analog stick + dpad and buttons.
My PC has bluetooth and I don't think I need a dongle, but I have a spare one around anyway.
I'm just worried about this motion joy drivers 'cause I've read it somewhere that once installed, it's a pain to remove the drivers.
But yeah, it looks great to move around with the analog and change weapons on the dpad and jump/reload/use with the other buttons, and let's not forget a good gaming mouse has typically 5 buttons so all together I guess we got all the basic controls covered....
So if I buy the navigator I won't have to buy Move with it right ? After installing motion joy the PC should be able to pick it up as a blue tooth device ? Correct ?
Sorry to go way OT..........and thanks.

the powerglove says HI. learn the facts 1st before you spout BS :rolleyes:

Are you talking about the Mattel power glove?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Glove

"The Power Glove was originally released in 1989.[1] Though it was an officially licensed product, Nintendo was not involved in the design or release of this accessory."

What facts should I be learning and what BS have I spouted?

    Imo Bluetooth is always a option of last resort for me

    Except for phones because it tends to be pretty reliable there

    I got a bad habit of taking out usb transmitter and loosing it because they can't you know print names on the damn things
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But any desktop OS, I've never had anything but frustration trying to get Bluetooth devices to work reliably and stable. It might pair and connect once, and then next time I go to use it I have to delete and re-pair it again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    5.3 has been so good I think 6 is really going to make it stable

    Solves part of the problem, mixing up which dongle is which. Then you just have to not lose them lol

    Even my Xbox One controller I have it paired to my desktop over Bluetooth, it USUALLY works but sometimes it refuses to connect and I have to delete and re-pair it. Maddening

    That's what I'm using :(

    Ran a driver update in device manager?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Not recently but I think it's less a driver issue and more just Windows having a garbage Bluetooth stack
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Could be I was having issues when I first upgraded it and didn't realiser gigabyte has specific driver revisions which is stupid
