Is there anything that could make my playstation controller a mouse?

[recondite7]

I have no idea if this is possible but I really want to get a new mouse setup for long sessions of poker. I think my playstation dual shock controller would be perfect but I had no idea if there is something that convert it to usb for use on a computer and if it would function as a mouse.

Any help would be appreciated and any other solutions welcome as well.

Buy a $25 usb controller?

good question...I bought a PS2 style USB controller thinking I could use it as a mouse...I've found a program that allows it, but it doesn't work very good, the cursor speed is terribly slow and non adjustable

This question sure doesn't belong in OOT.

Check out the software forum FAQ. You can use TableNavigator to control poker with a gamepad. Using it like a mouse is the WRONG way to do it. (Instead of trying to precisely hit buttons on the poker window, use one button for "fold", one for "call", etc.)

A while back (in the Internet Gambling forum) someone posted something like this. He 4-tabled and each of the shoulder buttons brought a specific table to the front. Then triangle, square, circle and X were used for fold, call, raise, bet. It was awesome. I can't find the post though.
