Help figuring out controller variables

My team is looking to try something new with the controller and use a video game controller. We were wondering if anyone could share the variable names for either the Xbox or PS2 Controllers. Any advice on how to start off on this would be great. Thanks

(i've tried searching, only to find that people say its possible to do it but not really share how to do it)

Re: Help figuring out controller variables

Essentially, nobody's shared how to do it because nobody's done it.

Put simply, the only way you'll get an Xbox controller to work with the IFI Operator Interface is to pop it open, scoop out the electronics, and completely rewire that bad boy. Folks like me would love to use them, but they're just too darn new for the tastes of what we're dealing with.

Hence most stick with the joysticks, or switch boxes.
