Xpadder

I use a Splitfish Barracuda to game with for my left hand only, the right hand controls a gaming mouse. ;)
Setting up a controller to work on a PC is hell sometimes, until I found the Xpadder program. This program is no more than a Keyboard emulation program, but with an added feature, its cheap to purchase, and is kept updated by the creator too.. I wanted to keep my gaming mouse in the right hand, so I bought a Splitfish Game Controller. But when I hooked it up it failed, that's why I also needed the Xpadder program too. Since I've had these two things working in conjunction, there has been no need for any other controllers. The Xpadder program is what solved all the problems.
:ugeek:
A lot of the problems with other controllers are they do not hook up with a PC
I would really recommend an Xpadder Program for those of you having a keyboard emulation problem.
:D

    I also like Xpadder.

    Random tip: Xpadder was freeware at one point. The freeware version is still being hosted on some download sites, but not on the official site. If you find the freeware version, it won't work with Windows 7 unless you enable XP3 compatibility mode.

    sorry not to get back to you so soon, but better late than never right?
    You are right about the xpadder being a paid product now, buts its so cheap, I forgot about this?
    I have managed to aquire a Saitek X45, on Ebay cheap. I think this has got to do with the contol Program becoming Obsolete, so they can sell newer model? Thats their way of thinking anyways.
    Now, I am using the Saitek X45, and the Xpadder keystroke Emulation Program together, as the Xpadder recognized the X45 as a Controller
    With this I can dedicate some buttons on the controller to control the rift setting while in game/program. Well this part is still just an Idea, but the previous paragraph works just fine. :roll:
