Daft question to start the day off with.
Has anybody found a way of getting Betangel to work with a joystick.
I am one of those rare and wonderful people blessed by God to to be left-handed. I use a right handed mouse out of consideration to the lesser mortals who are condemned to be of the 90% of the sweaty masses who are right handed. (no predujice intended)
Also, I think it would be more fun.
There is of course the Health and Efficiency angle. The Joystick and mouse combination means I will get twice as much exercise when working/making coffee/working/making more coffee/screaming at late starts/making more coffee - I keep the kettle in the kitchen, it keeps me fit
So suggestions puleeease (sinistrals only, I expect you dextrous types will probably bitch - you're nearly as bad as wimmen wanting to join the golf club.)
Have a good day folks, it's gonna be busy.
Bet Angel trader's desks & setup's
Thanks for the prompt reply LeTiss, I have a 3M Optical USB Ergonomic Mouse, Wired, 3 Buttons, it's good, but I am of an age that remembers the thrill of Space Invaders. I'm going to "pimp " my copy of Betangel a la Starsky's "Tomato" or Dukes of Hazzards "General Lee". Peter doesn't say "this market is suspended", he says "That's all folks!" -which means it's time for more coffee.
My desk/setup sounds like a warzone if I'm caught in-play :evil:
Pre off it is merely the sound of gentle sniping,
I'm aiming for a bomb going off when I
It's hard work, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun.

Made me think... It would be fun to have a clock for each racecourse:
"Catterick"
"Cheltenham"
"Kempton"
etc..

You don't need anything fancy to do this just "screen acreage", a comfy chair and a dedication to laziness.
Just old old refurbs
Lenovo ThinkPad X220 12.5-inch Notebook (Intel Core i5 2.5GHz Processor, 4GB DDR3-SD RAM, 320GB HDD, Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit)
Lenovo ThinkPad X230 Intel Core i5-3320M 2.60GHz RAM 8GB HDD 240 GB SSD Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit 2324A39 Grade A 12.5 (Certified Refurbished)
And a
Compaq Presario CQ57 15.6" AMD 10 1.3GHz 6GB RAM WIN10
Monitors(New)
2 of BenQ RL2455HM 24 inch Gaming Monitor for Console e-Sports with 1 ms Response Time, Black eQualizer, Flicker-free, RTS Mode, HDMI x 2, Built-in Speaker
and a
BenQ GL2250 21.5-Inch LCD Monitor - (VGA, DVI-D, 1920 x 1080, 1000:1, 5ms, 250cd/m2)
It's worth the extra for the RL2455's much easier on the eyes.
Apart from the Compaq - all off Amazon. The Compaq works fine - it's my old warhorse. The WIN10 is a disaster - that is going to be switched back to Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit.
I use a -
TRIPLE LCD LED TFT MONITOR DESK STAND MOUNT FREESTANDING FULLY ADJUSTABLE HEAVY DUTY 3 SCREENS 15-24 (Amazon)
Gives me a level screen setup. The laptops fit under the monitors.
I use a desk on my right hand side
MICKE 73x50 cm (IKEA)
With a
PECHAM Gaming Mouse Pad - 780x300x3mm XX-Large Size - Extended Water-Resistant Computer Mouse Mat, Non-Slip Rubber Base, Special Treated Textured Weave (Amazon)
Placed at a right angle to
my worktop for frontal work and to fit all this lot
Plain Pearl White laminate kitchen worktop (3m x 600mm x 28mm) (Amazon)
Swivel Chair
TORKEL (IKEA) (for my lazy butt)
TRUST keyboard (TESCO)
And a no-brand mouse (POUNDLAND) (I am not kind to mices - go thru' a lot of em)
All the above can be controlled using - MOUSE WITHOUT BORDERS
THAT IS THE IMPORTANT BIT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Somebody on this forum suggested it. Best piece of advice on the forum. Microsoft garage produce it. Allows the control of up to 4 computers from a single keyboard and mouse.
Worktop means I can work at one end and eat at the other. I make sure I get plenty of excerise by keeping my kettle, toaster and microwave - all (TESCO own-brand) in the kitchen
- along with my George Forman Grill and Russell Hobbs RHTTLF1B Freestanding Table Top Larder Fridge - Black : (also TESCO).
Mouse without borders DOES NOT allow me to operate the kitchen stuff from my swivel chair. But I can access everything within 20 paces.
I also have to fetch my own fags and papers. It's a hard life

I bought a pulse tripod laptop/projector stand a sturdy one with height adjustment and i use that along with my trading desktop trading table, so i alternate , but stand most of the time. Also because I also use he laptop with wifi I can use it in different rooms.
Hope this helps. Pulse PLS00453 Heavy Duty Laptop Projector Floor Stand
