Gamepad used as a mouse
« on: August 22, 2008, 07:01:58 PM »
I have a desktop hooked to the flatscreen tv that I use to play older games on. Instead of using a mouse and keyboard wirelessly, I would rather use a gamepad through the USB port to control the mouse movements/clicks. Not worried about typing since I just need it for mouse support only.

Anyone here ever do this before and has experience on what to do?

I've never even heard it done before...a game pad such as a butterfly gaming pad?

This one is a PS1 pad plugged into a a PS1/USB port and then plugs into the PC

Works real well for SNES games
