I want to use the logitech wireless gamepad to control the model in PV. I have connect the VRPN server, and the button input had tested using vrpn\_print\_device, where I can get the input singnal. However, I couldn’t control the model in the scene.

```nohighlight
#vrpn config
vrpn_Joywin32 joyWin32 1 60 2 35

```

input tested by vrpn\_print\_device

I personally haven’t tried the vtkVRStylusStyle, possibly [@Sherman, William R. (Ctr)](mailto:william.sherman@nist.gov) is familiar with it and could provide some insight. I have had success moving objects around using the vtkVRGrabTransformStyle and vtkVRGrabPointStyle classes, you might experiment with one of those.

Cheers,  
Scott
