Using your xbox360 controller on PC.

[Bman]

Now I know this is fairly common knowledge, but to those who don't know I shall teach you

Some of you may be asking "What use is this?" It's easier to play most times, you can get comfortable and lean back in your chair/desk/couch etc. It usually has a better layout and it can be alot more fun.

What you will need :
An xbox360 wired controller (You can use wireless but that's for another time)

A computer with windows XP or higher.
Xpadder or other button mapping software. In this tutorial I will be using xpadder.


Step one :
Get all the requirements, install the drivers for the controller when you plug it into the usb port if you don't already have them.

Step two (Xpadder) :
Download xpadder from here

Virus scan : Here (Clean)

Open up xpadder, and plug in your xbox360 controller, On startup (of the program) it will ask you a few things. One of these things are to associate files with Xpadder, please do so. It will make your life alot easier.

Now just follow the pictures








Thanks and/or +rep please

son of a Bitch! I'm going to have to go buy myself a wired 360 controller now so I can play minecraft with it!

I personally think that the 5 odd creators of minecraft (Last I remembered it was a small team that made it) should make it as downloadable content for the xbox 360. I would love that to death, being able to play it on my console.

But with this tut its the next best thing! thanks again ;o
