360 Controller

[Atomic_Skull]

EDIT: since i'm here, what's stopping someone from writing a driver that fools windows into thinking it's stock microsoft xbox360 driver, except that the triggers work as buttons?

Is there a legal issue with that?

Xinput pretty much means Xbox 360 compatible gamepad. Microsoft probably doesn't want anyone making Xinput drivers for non 360 controlles. I'm not even sure it's possible to make such a driver.

Surely there has to be a way.

What if you could just modify the stock microsoft driver to treat triggers as buttons (now THAT is probably riddled with legal issues)

Not if Xinput won't work with anything but the microsoft 360 controller driver. Certainly the lack of any third party Xinput compatible controllers points to this.

You'd need the source code for that because while it would be simple enough, it's not simple enough that you wouldn't need to write new code for it and compile a new dll.
