Input Plugin for Xbox 360 Controller

[wessleym]

Does anyone know of an input plugin that is compatible with the Xbox 360 controller? I know that N-Rage's Direct-Input8 works, but none of the input plugins I've found support the rumble feature. Apparently, the plugin would have to use the Xinput API:

XBCD can be used to add support, but are there any plugins that are designed to work with the Xbox 360 controller?

Download the latest driver for your controller. It fixes the rumble problems.

I have the newest version of the Xbox 360 controller's driver. It's version 6.0.5221.0 and dated 9/15/2005. It's the newest according to both Windows Update and the Microsoft Hardware pages. According to the URL I pasted above, it only supports rumble through Xinput. Does anybody else know what's going on?

Bah, you're right. You will also need to install a third party driver from here: http://xbcd360guide.50webs.com/

Yeah, I did that, and it works fine with XBCD installed. But I'd rather just use an input plugin that works with Microsoft's driver instead of the temporary fix of XBCD.

There are two plugins for this, here they are:

If you also plan to use the gamepad for PC games you should use the "fixed" driver instead since most games will not support rumble using the default drivers.

for archive purposes,

this can now be achieved by installing a rumble driver which interacts with the MSFT drivers
