Re: Use of gamepads in replacement of buttonboards

My team has used xbox controllers for as long as I've been on the team. As a previous poster noted, the deadzone is rather large. That hasn't been a big issue for us; just remember to account for it in code. The triggers do weird stuff, and we haven't been able to implement them. Otherwise, we just wrote a class called xBoxControllerMap which has a list of ints named for the buttons on the controller so we only had to figure out what does what once.
