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.

Download BetPot at http://www.overcards.com/wiki/moin.cgi/BetPot

Add the following code to "betpot_default_hotkeys.ahk"
Profit

Download xpadder and use with whatever betpot script you prefer.

+1 to xpadder. been doing this for months. use the left joy as mouse start as left click. and when i play no limit RB as bet pot

please please please please please please let this work for me 1st try.

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.

awesome, thanks

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

I've purchased the controller, and it's recognized by xpadder, and I can use it to navigate w/the mouse and left/right click. Would someone mind walking me through how to add an AHK script to the mix? Preferably one that is able to move the mouse to the active table in a cascade. Also, I'm playing limit poker, I don't know if that is a consideration or not. I would much appreciate any insight

once you have downloaded xpadder.. assign each button a letter on the keyboard.. example on the 360 controller assign the x button the letter X or the right trigger the letter R... then down load tableninja.. from tableninja.com ... then assign each action a letter corresponding to the letters on you controller... ie.. the letter R you assinged to the trigger.. if you want the right trigger to preform the fold action. assign the letter R to fold.. then when you click the trigger you hand will fold.... after you assign the actions in table ninja click save... you will be ready to roll... good luck.... john

thanks a lot, looking forward to trying this after work

Absolutely agree with jfrizzle that xpadder and tableninja is the way to go.

Meh I disagree, but to each their own. Two more closed source EXEs I don't need on my poker system, no thanks.

Wireless Xbox 360 controller, no additional software - just using Joy1-16 etc. as hotkeys in AHK scripts does the job extremely well imo.

All I used when I used a gamepad for a few weeks was Joy2Key, BetPot and UrgentTable-v0.3 to keep track of the active table and move my mouse there.

I'm having trouble configuring this to work on limit tables. Betpot and Table Ninja only work for nl/pl, or am I wrong? Would just using AHK work for limit?

I only played limit when I used a gamepad. Betpot works fine.

Got a xb360 controller and have it set up thanks to these forums. You guys rock.

Couple Q's I couldn't find answers to by searching:

1. what is the code to confirm a bet? For example, I bet the pot with code like this:

Joy6::
Pot(getid(),"1 1 1 1", "smallblind", 0, 0)
return

I know I can change the last "0" to "1" to autobet but would rather confirm with a click.

2. What does gosub mean? Example:

Joy11::
Gosub, WheelDown
return

Thanks!

can you elaborate a bit Fozzy? I'm really not adept at this stuff. Do I just need to add the code that was listed above?
