I forgot about that part. Check the gamepad input on the computer first. Go to Start > Control Panel and there should be a box in the upper right corner to search. Search for "game" and there should be an option "Set up USB game controllers". Click that link. should get a list of installed game controllers. Select yours and click "Properties". There should be options for Calibration, and on another tab, an option for Testing. Go to the test tab and press some buttons and wiggle the joysticks to see what happens.
