I'm playing CS:S a lot and the eyboard config is really fucking up my ganme.

im pretty sure it can, you either would have to cut the plug off the end and wire to a usb terminal, or find some kind of adapter...

peace

they are usb joypads, but use a propietary connector. Search for "usb xbox adapter"

Why do you want a gamepad for an fps?

yea a usb cord end will have the same color wires as an xbox controller. the xbox will have an extra wire(yellow i think) its for the rumble pack. solder em together and your good to go. drivers should be easy

Dude, they sell an adapter to use XBox and even PS2 controllers on your PC at Wal-Mart for like 20 bucks.

"Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a main era - -the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant."

This is what i done. My green and white twisted pair on the xbox controller were reversed for some reason though. Test it with the wires color to color first. If it does not work then switch the green and white to opposite colors. Dont do any soldering until you test it. Just keep the bare wires seperated or you will fry you controller or usb port or maybe both.

after you have it figured out, solder each connection. then slide a heat shrink tubing over each of the individual connections. and use some heat shrink over the whole thing and thats it.

The yellow wire from the xbox controller doesn't matter though cut it off and isolate it from the braided wire shield.

Also, i mutilated the short section of my xbox controller, i think it is called a quick release extension. I can plug my controller in to the homemade usb cord to play on the pc then hook it back to the unmodified quick release for the xbox with no problems.

The software that i found for windows to recognize was "XBCD"


Hope this helps.


I would post pics but i have been drinking. if you google for a little while you will find pics that show it better.
