    i remember one once said here that they could not look up or down on css using a game pad thingy.
    i may have the solution unless u guys already figured it out.

    first you go to control panel.
    then accessabiliy options
    then mouse
    then enable mouse keys
    doing this will make the number pad make the mouse move.
    i.e.
    1=down left
    2=down
    3=down right
    4=left
    5=left click
    6=right
    7=up left
    8=up
    9=up right

    i use this when im boored for fun. and ctrl speeds it up and shift slows it down
    under mouse settings you can make it as fast or slow as you want


    i guess after enabling that you can assing the game pads analogue or something to the numbetr pad

    tell me if it works
    or not

    It's a good idea... but highly unlikly anyone will use it... just too confusing for gaming.

    People who use control pads for FPS's are just itching to become a splatter on the floor.

    Well, yes. It's a good workaround. Mapping keys to joystick presses is pretty common. They even make a program to specifically do that, and much more.
