WiFi adaptor or gamepad?


Recommended Posts

 I've got eqmod up and running controlling the mount from stellarium with no problems, just need a game pad or similar to move the mount when aligning as it is impossible looking through the eyepiece and then move the mount via the pc then back to the eye piece, back to the pc etc, etc...

I'm using a very old Hp laptop at the moment. Running Windows 10 .  I've got a couple of old Xbox 360 wireless controllers lying about but having read the reviews of pc adapters on Amazon they don't seem to work too well with Windows 10!

Can I use skywatchers WiFi adaptor and my phone at the same time as my pc and eqmod?  If not any recommendations for an adaptor that works ok with Xbox 360 controllers and windows 10, or a gamepad that's not too expensive and works well.

Personally, I prefer wired controllers as you can find somewhere to hang them! I was always losing track of wireless ones.

I managed to find a double pack of these very basic controllers for about £15 on Ebay, which work fine for me. Nothing fancy!
