Map gamepad key to keyboard key

Hi,

I am trying to use an Xbox 360 gamepad with my mac. I am able to use it with most things but one of my games has a drop down of keyboard keys instead of a place that I can just press a button and it registers that.


Is there either something in Mac or an app or something that will let me do that? Preferiable able to make it only do it for this app, but isnt needed.


Thanks,

Jon

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

Hi, ninjon -


USB Overdrive has the ability to map keyboard strokes (plain or combos) to the buttons of most input devices, particularly game controllers and multi-button mouses. It can also provide better control for cursor speed and relative velocities. Best, it provides those settings on a program-by-program basis, auto-switching from one set to another as you switch programs. USB Overdrive has been around for a long time (since OS 9 days), and is safe.


You can get it via this page -
