xbox gamepad idea

Post by del33ted_g33k »

okay i was thinking you have it so if you shove a xbox controller in any of the usb ports it's a mouse so you can end up having four mouses i was thinking having the first on as a mouse and the others as joysticks if you don't understand what i mean i'll explain it

infact add all the dead keys and add software so every button is a macro button including the joysticks (have a mode to switch between movment and macro)

I didnt code the onscreen keyboard, so I'm not gonna look into adding things to it. Making buttons perform macro functions would require some serious coding, I dont have the time to do that :\
