Gamepads to play with?

[Mental]

I have a different gamepad that I use and it is not working with starsgamepad script. Does it work well with the logitech gamepad? If it does I will pick one up.

Sure would love to be able to play like Daxonovitch wants to. Man would that be nice on the wrist.

those scripts seems a bit outdated, i dont know. Here is what i use to play just like Daxonovitch wants:

I never knew about table navigator till now. Wow, this will be sweet. Thanks for the link.

Cool, thanks for the assistance, guys. While it's still a work in progress, here's what I've come up with.

I purchased a Wireless XBOX 360 controller, a Play and Charge accessory (allows me to recharge it even while I'm using it), and a wireless XBOX controller station to hook it up to my PC.

The PC treats it like a joystick, so I had to do quite a bit of kluging to get it to work the way I wanted it. AHK is an amazing program, by the way. If you're a programmer or don't mind dabbling in the scripts you can do some really cool stuff with it.

I spent the day hacking up some scripts while I had some downtime (freaking internet went out, gg to 6 lost SNGs), and testing it out at the play money tables, then eventually with some SNGs. Basically, I can now sit my ass on the couch 15 feet away and multitable it up without needing to have some sort of funky book to use my mouse on. Sitting on the floor or on a couch while using a gamepad is infinitely more comfortable. What can I say, I'm a fatass.


Boring details:
---------------

Up: Raise all in/pot (move the slider all the way to the right)
Down: Minimum (move the slider all the way to the left)
Right: Add one bet
Left: Subtract one bet

X: Mouseover fold
Y: Mouseover check/call
B: Mouseover bet/raise/call-all-in
A: Click

LT: Cycle to first window
RT: Cycle to last window
LB: Cycle left one window
RB: Cycle right one window

Also, there's functionality in there to actually take advantage of Stars "stealing focus". If you're multitabling, you can simple perform the betting actions required when that table is beeping at you. You don't have to "cycle to" that table. For example, if tables 2, 4 and 6 all have actions waiting for me, and I just want to fold all of them, I can just hit X A X A X A (instead of X A RB RB X A RB RB X A, which would be a pain in the ass).

Eventually I can take the "Click" button out, and just make X, Y, B do the clicking as well, but I wanted to have one additional stopgap to prevent misclicks. In over a thousand hands of SNGs today, I only misclicked once (and it was a fold). The biggest tilter of the day was the internet going out.

It does get a little hectic when multiple tables get shorthanded. I find I can fold very very quickly (probably faster than with a mouse) but making a standard raise of 3xBB takes a hair longer. When I'm playing more hands HU/SH, it can certainly get busy. I can always switch over to the mouse, but that defeats the purpose. I'll have to put more thought into it.




Really boring details:
----------------------

I'm not going to fix this to make it "generic" so other people can use it. It's a hack meant to make MY life better, not yours.
