Xbox 360 controller AHK / Xpadder - collected threads edition

[Margaud]

I can't seem to control the mouse cursor within XP (run as a bootcamp vm within Parallels).

Here's my XPadder setup



The dpad and keys can be assigned and work but I can't seem to move my mouse cursor with the 360 controller. Any suggestions?

Question to you guys that use a gamepad to multi-table:

do you tile or cascade?

is gamepad useful if i have 16 tables tiled playing NL ?


I 16 table on 2 screens and my wrist is taking a beating....im looking for alternative ways to click buttons on my screen.

My concern with gamepad:

moving mouse around from one screen to the next will take some time ?
moving mouse around with thumbpad will kill my thumb pretty quickly?

if you have a gamepad with 2 analog sticks you can make one a really fast mouse cursor (to move from one screen to another etc)
and the other one slow/precise..

fwiw I stack tables and think its far superior

There are multiple urgent table scripts and app's that can move your cursor to the active table and highlight it. I tile and rarely move my mouse hand, unless I am multi-tasking.

Stars Urgent Table, Stars Assistant, Full Tilt Shortcuts, etc

I have a logitech rumblepad with 2 analog sticks and a bunch buttons etc.

I'm trying to use joy2key right now...but so far..its not even recognizing my gambpad...updating drivers atm.

this page contains a great AHK script for mapping one of the analog sticks to mouse (an a couple buttons to left/right click too). It works with almost any pad, and is a good starting point. http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/scrip...stickMouse.htm Imo it is better than any joy2key app since it works easily and is extremely customizable.

this page has some other examples how to use a joystick in AHK http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/RemapJoystick.htm

For Full Tilt Shortcust, BetPot, StarsHotkeys and other AHKs, all you need do usually is set Joy1 or Joy7 as the button names (once you figure out which button has which number).

thanks man...that AHK script works great and is really simple. I tried joy2key and joystick 2 mouse...and it took too long to configure all the buttons n what not....AHK is really simple.


After using this controller, i feel it's not as precise as a mouse cursor...its very hard to click the X on the top right corner of the window...and takes several tries...before I can hit it dead center... Is there anyway to get this more precise?

Is there anyway I can use the directional pad to move mouse instead of the analog stick ?

I have a logitech wingman rumblepad - 2 analog sticks

I use this too and I use a 2nd instance of it to make the 2nd analog stick a mouse too - there has to be an easier way,
making both ahks into one but I dont know anything about it,
Im already proud I managed to find out how to access the 2nd analog stick (Z and R instead of X and Y I believe)

I need some major help installing my 360 controller to xpadder. I cannot find any sort of adapter that will connect my controller to the computer.

another question, is there something similar to tableninja out there for those of us on ftp?

You can buy a "microsoft USB wireless adapter" most places that sell xbox accessories. I think wired contollers just plug in to USB, but I've never had one s not sure.

Full Tilt Shortcuts or Poker Shortcuts most similar to Table Ninja, or myriad AHK scripts are available.

If you are playing on Stars I would suggest you use _dave_'s Stars Urgent Table v0.3 from the attachments page. It will highlight the active table and the table under the mouse. It can also move the mouse from table to table, so all you have to do is hit buttons/keys once you get the script dialed in.

what´s the best solution if you play different sites simultanously?

i like tableninja (though i never tried another program), but it only works for pokerstars afaik. mainly play pokerstars and fulltilt.

[fozzy71]

I would suggest you try out the beta trial of Poker ShortCuts by Nanochip. It is designed to work with PokerStars and FTP.

I finally got mine working last night.

No need for xpadder or the joy2stick script. I went to Control Panel-Gaming Controllers, click on the 360 controller and then in the Test tab I was able to figure out what the names of each button were. Using that, I modified betpot using a snippet of code posted by someone else in the betpot thread.

Question though, in the Test tab I wasn't able to see what directional pad was assigned to. Right now I only have the following assigned to betpot:
X, Y, B, A, select, start, Left, Right.

I was hoping to use the directional and maybe even bottom triggers also. Or even the POV sticks to scroll up/down. Any suggestions?
