Mousing around in OS X with Xbox 360 Controller

[OvertoneZero]

If anyone else is interested in this, I was able to get a halfway decent setup working tonight that basically gives you mouse and scroll wheel control with an xbox 360 controller in OS X.


You need a few things to do it:

ControllerMate:

ControllerMate config file:

Mouse is mapped to left stick, scroll is right stick, left click is A, right click is B, page down is left trigger, page up is right trigger



You can use a wired controller or one of these with a wireless: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Gam ... 768&sr=8-3




the mouse acceleration could use some work... my initial approach to smoothing out the pointer motion with Controllermate's custom mouse acceleration curve and the divider modules (..?) is not optimized.


Also going to map some keyboard shortcuts for Ableton Live

Man i hate to be a weirdo and all, but.....




...why?








Why would you want to use an Xbox controller to control Live? I'm not making fun, I'm not judging, I just don't understand.....

...why?

Haha! You're totally going to try it.

Why not? You can never have too many buttons.

what would be really cool is if you would actually be running Live on your Xbox
