I saw a demonstration at Squeakfest last summer of someone using Squeak with some very simple, inexpensive game controllers. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the brand.
Can anyone point me to a source for these? I would like to use them in my 6th grade class, where my students are writing games in Squeak.
Thanks in advance,

You should be able to grab any USB game controller and plug into your Mac or Windows machine. Then get a Joystick object from the Supplies flap and choose "track real joystick" from its halo menu. You will only be able to read out the X and Y axis and the first two buttons.
