It is possible to use a video game controller with Plover by installing the [https://github.com/tadeokondrak/plover_controller Plover Controller] plugin. [[Plugins|Please use the built-in Plover plugins manager to install this plugin.]] This is one of the cheapest options to get you started! If you don't have a USB or bluetooth controller lying around, you can find a used one very cheap, and you can even buy new ones for a great price. <blockquote>'''Note: as per the [https://github.com/tadeokondrak/plover_controller project's README], there may be issues using it with macOS.'''</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting ==<br />
<br />
Most issues can be resolved by following the [https://github.com/tadeokondrak/plover_controller?tab=readme-ov-file#mapping-buttons mapping instructions] for the Plover Controller plugin.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
The diagram below shows where all of the corresponding keys are located. This layout closely resembles the standard Ward Stone Ireland stenography layout, so it can be used with a standard theory, like Plover theory or Lapwing theory. <br />
<br />
=== Skipping Joystick Keys with the Reverse Steno Order Method ===<br />
The diagram also shows how stick movements that move in the opposite direction of [https://plover.wiki/index.php/Glossary#Steno_Order steno order] will skip the keys in-between. For example, to to write a word starting with "th", such as the word, "this," you would want to select <code>T-</code> and <code>H-</code> without the <code>P-</code> in-between. Moving the left stick clockwise from <code>T-</code> to <code>H-</code> would output <code>TPH-</code>, which is not what we want. To get the output of <code>TH-</code>, you would move counter-clockwise from <code>H-</code> to <code>T-</code>. However, reverse steno order does not always mean counter-clockwise. Another example is the word <code>WHA</code> -> "what,". To output <code>WH-</code> , you would want to move clockwise from <code>H-</code> to <code>W-</code><br />
<br />
=== Skipping Joystick Keys with the Opposite Direction Overlap Method ===<br />
There is also a method to skip keys by moving the stick opposite the initial direction over keys you want to exclude. <br />
<br />
For example, the word <code>KHRUB</code> -> "club" can be written by moving the left joystick clockwise from H to K, and without releasing, move the stick back to <code>W-</code> to exclude <code>W-</code>. This will output <code>KHR-</code>, and with the addition of <code>U</code> and <code>-B</code>, you get "club". <br />
