Joe,
I recommend a PS3 controller then. It is Bluetooth, with a USB

a D pad. More than enough for Tank combat. They're also relatively easy
to find and come in a wide variety of colours.

for tank battle. Besides the points you so eloquently bring up,
imagine when those wrist straps start breaking and we have flying
