Has anyone ever tried to make and use a hardware parameter dial to work with Poser? I mean a real thumbwheel that you can spin and so set the parameter value of the selected dial? Reason I ask this is that I moved to using a pen tablet in lieu of a mouse. Tablet with mouse uses USB, but my old mouse is still at the PS2 port. Both work in conjunction, the tablet taking precedence when the pen is in detection range. Once you get used to it, most of the operations in Poser are a breeze with a pen, but spinning the dials remains difficult, so I find myself often falling back on the mouse for that or just typing numbers directly. So I wonder: Are there suitable devices on the market, or is it possible to scavenge an old (mechanical) mouse to make a dedicated dial control that I can I can spin with my free hand? Anyone ever done this? Experiences? Suggestions? B.
