The Tankstick in Detail Cont'd

The Trackball acts as a conventional mouse and can be used just like a mouse in games.

The bottom consists for rubber feet to keep the Tankstick in place when the going gets rough :).

Going to the rear of the unit you’re offered with a Serial port and keyboard input coming from one section, Trackball cable, the programming switch located in between these two cables and on the far right is the Horizontal disabler button to disable left/right movement on the trackball. The last button is the program load button which needs to be pressed twice if you have programmed the Tankstick to a certain setting and want to load that configuration. The Tankstick has 4 program modes of which the 1st mode is not programmable. The rest you can program to your suiting and is an awesome feature if you want to pre-configure keys for different games and load them up at a flash.

One thing we noticed while going through the Tankstick was that one of the wires had slightly peeled off at the point it connects to the Tankstick, luckily however it had no impact on the controller.
