The last port of GTA the controls seemed to feel much nicer. This one, well...I don't know if RockStar realizes we only have ten friggin fingers. How the hell is someone supposed to press black + white for rear view. That's nuts, and I love using the rear view.

I haven't seen anything on whether or not its possible to remap, so I figured screw it, let me tape a bridge over the black and white. It works pretty damn good. You can still use black or white independently, and by pressing in the middle of the bridge you'll press both black and white at the same time.

 I used Johnson & johnson stimudent toothpicks I had lying around, taped two together with the fine edge faced together, and it gives a nice comfortable feel. Not the most attractive thing, but at least I got my rear view back better than before. If you want to try it be sure to use the 3M Mounting tape, since it has some height to it, which you'll need to properly depress the button at the same time with the toothpick bridge.

Here's a pic of how it looks, rather self explanatory. eeek, I know.

LOL! What a good idea!

I'm thinkin of replacing the toothpicks with a thin strip of metal. But I might have to run to the hardware store for that.

I'm using the Logitech wireless controller, and since all the buttons are closer together, it's actually not to bad pressing black + white for rear view.

. It was nice while it lasted.

I know, what a pain in the ass it is to just look behind you. Making that, I suppose that there is no possible what to change the controller configuration... It's a good idea, did you cut the metal from the pen clip with scissors, or is it more complex?

I have two Logitech Wireless Controllers, and one is bigger than the other. Nevertheless, I find them ten times better than those small "S-Controllers" that were made for Ex-PS2 fans. Being a major Dreamcast-er, I feel the need that bigger is better. I still have that Hand-enlargers somewhere.

Mmm, a little but too much trouble for one function.

I use the MadCatz Microcon X-Box controller (over USB, I'm a PC fella) and the black and white buttons are nicely raised on the right edge, so I can press them with pretty much the joint of my thumb, and still use the tip to press other buttons.
