That edit is basically why I didn’t care for it.
I have a pair of usb Logitech controllers and they are alright, but the configuration was a pain, so like.. ehh.
It’s a lot better now, I just have a huge backlog of discs so not in a rush. Probably won’t be bothering with the next generation of consoles though. No point.
You could probably do what the lap cat people do and just stuff a glove and shirt sleeve as a decoy. (They stuff a pair of pants, I’ve done that and it works well until they wise up so use sparingly!)
As long as it’s in the right place, it’ll probably work. For a bit. Might need a decoy mouse attached to it - have any old dead ones?
Unless what the cat wants is those slight movements and the “aww cmon” instant attention it gives :)
