isnt the keyboard shortcuts for keyboards and not for a joystick? I think off the top of my head the onlything your joystick will do is control pan/tilt and nothing else...

Yeah I was just wondering because in the freestyler setup when i go to joystick control it says:

"To configure the joystick buttons go to the keyboard shortcuts, select a function and press a button on your joystick. DO NOT FORGET : if you want to control pan/tilt with your joystick you need to you need to configure "Togle Pan/Tilt"

I have successfully assigned buttons on my Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 to functions in FS. This was done like I would assign an ordinary keyboard shortcut. I've also tried with other usb joysticks, but then I got no reaction on neither buttons nor pan/tilt.
