I think the project is quite new but for me it seems to work almost perfectly so far.

AntiMicro seems to apply the "dead zone" automatically as well - when I was using the xboxdrv I had to do this manually in config file because the cursor drifted slowly all the time in one direction, here all is good.

get the central "Logitech logo" key to switch between mouse and pad operation - I simply have the second set where none of keys is assigned and the central key toggles between those two modes, therefore I can launch the game using "mouse mode" and then switch to "pad mode" to play.

configure my pad (F710 Wireless) as a mouse - just need to assign proper buttons/sticks to the desired function in one set.

The configuration is really simple (although the GUI is rather basic), with a couple of clicks I was able to: The better solution seems to be the AntiMicro project: I've tried the xboxdrv and it kind of worked but it was never perfect for me and I had to manually configure the config file. This would avoid the cursor to move a bit when you don't use the gamepad but it is still enabled.

If someone knows how to do it, I would be interested to know how to setup a kind of "center area" qhere the mouse cursor don't move, even if the stick is not perfectly in the middle.

A and B are on the mouse wheel, so you can easily change your weapons.

You might want to change the R button to KEY_SPACE to jump, depending of the game you play.

mouse left click is on Z (back) to shoot, and right click on R (rb).

up right down left are assigned to the cross.

yellow C (x2 y2) buttons are set to UP, DOWN keyboard keys, and the keys on an azerty keayboard for lateral move (Q and D change the letter for your keyboard layout).

This way, you can also use the gamepad to replace your mouse. I tried to do that like the advanced gamepad mode on the famous N64 Game 007 - GoldenEye. However most games on GNU/Linux do not support very well gamepad. My aim was to set this up to play to first person shoot games, as I am not used to play with mouse and keyboard. It works fine, it's the best solution for me. To avoid launching it with sudo, create a udev rule. Launch it sudo xboxdrv -config xboxdrv-mouse.ini Note that value for REl_X and REL_Y seems to define the speed of the mouse, and by defining a negative value it inverts the axis (see here for REL_Y)Īnother example with more button definition Here I set gamepad buttons 2 for left mouse button and 3 for right mouse button: Press Ctrl-c to quit, use '-silent' to suppress the event outputĬreate an xboxdrv-mouse.ini file to set X Y axis and left and right mouse button. Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as: $ sudo xboxdrv -evdev /dev/input/event8 -evdev-debug The idea is to launch xboxdrv and test every button and note the result on paper. I conclude that my gamepad's event is /dev/input/event8ĭisplay names of every key, axis, button of the gamepad.

UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing Monitor will print the received events for: Launch udevadm monitor -udev and then plug the game pad: $ udevadm monitor -udev
