I use an old Logitech Rumblepad 2. It is almost identical to my Ps3 controller and is fully supported by FFXIV. I tried the program you are talking about and never really got it to work the way I wanted. The key binding for the Rumblepad2 is already in FFXIV so you don't have to spend time remapping it. I switched a few months back from the PS3 -> PC and just could not get use to the keyboard. I had a high rating I think around 9800, but I still can't see odin sometimes, but I think they are addressing those issues with patch 2.1
