Xbox 360 controller AHK / Xpadder - collected threads edition

[wateronrock]

I'm going absolutely crazy trying to figure out how to get my xbox 360 wireless controller to work like a mouse.

I figured out how to use my keyboard with the AHK scripts but it seems to be much more complicated to input joystick values?

Most of the scripts I downloaded (stars planner) would just show up in my task bar as the green H and be functional...but the "using a joystick as a mouse" script just gives me the actual code? Do I have to copy and paste this script somewhere to get rolling?

24 tabling has taken it's toll physically and I'm starting to feel numbness in my fingers, it's to the point where I simply can't ignore it anymore. I'm hoping by switching periodically from mouse to joystick I can take some of the repetitive stress away.

If anyone can point me in the right direction or link me to any info I would really appreciate it?

I assume you have the xbox 360 wireless control working with your computer already? If not there's a wireless receiver you need to buy in order to use a 360 controller with your computer. In order to use a Joystick with AHK you need to specific what buttons you want to do what. I don't use stars planner so I don't know how they do it but the list of joystick buttons for AHK can be found here. You type in Joy1, Joy2, Joy3, etc for what button you want to correspond to what action, that's how Stars Hotkeys works at least.

I just got it working with a 360 controller for my roommate Jog so if you have problems just IM me.

Thanks for the response guys, I didn't check back and actually got things set up myself with some help from the SSNL forum.

I used xpadder and AHK and it works really well. I have the wireless 360 game pad and initially was told that it would not work....but it does.

I would recommend this as an alternative to anyone who is having issues with repetitive stress from multi tabling.

i like to use tableninja and joy2key. works great !

Do you have to buy the controller specifically for windows, you can't just use a standard 360 wireless controller?

Is the free version of xpadder adequate or do you need the pay version?

also, is it possible for it to be configured to allow your conventional mouse to work simultaneously? or is it and either or situation

Free version works fine for me and the mouse is not affected at all so I can control the poker hands by XBOX controller, keyboard or mouse all at the same time.

Is this any good in practise BTW? Sounds good but I don't know.
