    haven't been on these forums for a long time, but a have a couple of questions regarding these wii-stick ripoffs. my friends were like "HOLY #@!@#" when they saw it, and i tried showing em how you can play video games with it...but you would have to have one hand on the keyboard to move, while the other hand on right hand stick to control the mouse..which is kind of lame. i mean, i dont use these for gaming, i use this mainly for when im controlling the mouse on my tv haha.

    i was trying to find out how you can make the joystick work, and found out from youtube that in the eee stick program menu, it allows you to customize games and add them. so my problems so far are...

    1. How can you add Modern Warfare 2 as a launch game? i tried locating the file, "iw4sp.exe" from "Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2" but that wouldn't work as a program because it gives me the error message "steam must be running to run this program". so how can i find an EXE/.url link to launch MW2?

    2. on the configurable buttons options, it allows you to bind keys to the stick buttons, but how do you bind buttons such as "mouse button 4", "middle/scroll button" or "left/right mouse click"? i would need that to zoom in with guns or meleeing etc.

    thanks for the help, this is on my not-dead G51Vx-A1.

    I read a review before that gave that thing a 2/10 so im pretty sure its unpopular and going to have very little support.

    Modern Warfare 2 Does not have a dedicated .exe file. It is executed as an extension of Steam.

    The only way I know how to get to it is by running Something like "Filepath/Steam.exe - MW2

    or something like that.

    The file path should be listed in the shortcuts made when you install the game. right click and look at properties
