I play games on PS5, Switch, and Mac Mini.

On consoles, I use gamepad, usually with back buttons / paddles. Nothing interesting.

On my Mac Mini, I mostly play emulated games and point and click games.

  • For emulated games, mostly using gamepad, except for shmups, fighting games, and arcade MAME games, which I use my Hori Mini Fighting Stick
  • For point and click games, Civ, and OpenRA, I use a cheap Huion drawing tablet
  • I don't play much FPS, but the last one I played was TimeWarpers (an idle FPS game), and I managed to use a trackball to play it comfortably

I switched from right hand mouse to left hand trackball (It's Kensington Expert trackball, not really right or left handed) earlier this year, because my right hand was aching. I thought it was RSI, but now when I think about it, it might have been uric acid.

I kind of want one of those Hori fight sticks. But I only play SF and Darkstalkers from time to time so it might not be worth it.

The mini fighting stick is quite ok, but it doesn't work directly with my Mac. I have a Mayflash Magic-NS adapter that allows the OS / emulator to detect it.

I'm just using it for nostalgia, reminds me of playing old arcade games.

There's a not-terribly-active community on the Fediverse that I saw earlier dedicated to arcade sticks.
