Xbox Controller as Mouse

This script allows you to use an Xbox controller as a pointing device with a Windows PC. The button mappings are printed when the script starts.

Running from source

To run the script from the source code, first clone the Xbox-360-Controller-for-Python repository locally. Follow the instructions in its README to set it up. Then, create a file called config.py in the root of this repository and add the following line:

XINPUT_DIR = r"C:\path\to\Xbox-360-Controller-for-Python"

Replace r"C:\path\to\Xbox-360-Controller-for-Python" with a string of the path to where you cloned Xbox-360-Controller-for-Python.

Next, run this command to install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run this command to run the script:

xbox_controller_mouse.py

Optionally, run this command to compile a new binary:

make.py

If your system isn't set up to run Python files with the Python interpreter, then prepend python or a path to the interpreter to both commands.
