Hi,
Well, I think your issue is that for the XBox 360 controllers etc
games are suppose to use Microsoft's new XInput library. However, many
older games use DirectInput instead. There are no doubt some
compatibility issues with XBox controllers and DirectInput exist
because the API is now 10
It's just that it functions, is supposed to function, as a standard
gamepad. It's supposed to be mappable, and if it were a problem with
just a few buttons not working, that'd make sense. However, it's more
that some games see some buttons and not others, and other games see
buttons that the first
Hi,
Yeah, I agree that the mouse might be the middle ground here between
keyboards and joysticks. Especially, the specific gaming models that
have 5 to 8 buttons on them.
A couple of years ago I made a simple light saber dueling game where
the mouse controlled the light saber and the a, d, w,

Hi,
Yeah, that's pretty weird. Not sure what to tell you, but I've been
looking into XBox 360 controller support and if I find out what causes
your issue I'll let you know.

Hi,
The light saber deuling game was a test application only. I'm not
even sure I have a copy of it any more. Although, I could probably
recreate it if needed. Said functionality will likely find its way
into some game or other as I will likely want to add sword fighting
etc to future games.
Hi tom.
I might invest in a gaming mouse at some point if more games use one, and
certainly even though I'm not hugely experienced with the mouse I'd rather
use one than a joypad, sinse unlike a joypad a mouse uses your hole hand and
has logical things for your fingers to do.
That light
I use the basic, yet best selling, xbox 360 controller as a joypad.
Unfortunately, most of the games I have don't like it much, despite
the fact that it's supposed to be fine.

Here's what I did, my concerns were the same. Go into your mouse
properties, and set the speed to 0%. Play the game (your turning
will be *very* slow). As you play, keep changing the mouse
speed/sensitivity until you like the way it works. You can not

Thank you for that Che! I also believe it will be very cool to see developers
use the mouse in future titles. I'm sure your Rail Racer game is going to see
quite a few more players giving the mouse controls a try.

Hi Dark,
Ouch! You definately seem to have a serious grudge against gamepads. Lol!
As for myself I am totally the opposite. I love gamepads, prefer them
over a keyboard, and generally play games like Mysteries of the

no not unless you get the first version wich is keyboard driven.

Hi,
The gaming mice are actually quite nice. The Logitech one I purchased

play. Especially, if

Yes its definately something I am really thinking about.
With your logitech did you have any issue accessing the software at all.
Good gaming mice are usually 120-150 bucks as compaired to the sticks

Hi Shaun,
The Logitech software isn't really that accessible. It is about the

terms of accessibility. Although, I really haven't had a big need to
