I have a black Negcon and actually prefer the regular controller for WO3. I like to assign L1 to "fire" and R1 to "hyperthrust", which you can't do with a Neggie unless you move the airbrakes somewhere else (which is unthinkable).

Lance, IIRC, it's not quite as thorough as it could be. I can't remember now, but it wouldn't let me do a certain layout I wanted to try -- maybe II and I for thrust and fire, B and A for hyperthrust and drop? I'd have to try plugging the Negcon in again and seeing.

In any case, I loved the Negcon in the original Wipeout -- it gave me a quantum-leap boost in my game -- but not in WO3 or Fusion.
