How can I use my Xbox controller with Blood?
Is there a free program? (I don't want xpadder as you have to buy it)
The control scheme is an archaic mess I don't want to get comfortable with. I use a laptop, the integrated mousepad isn't ideal.
Thanks!

Sorry, but:
Sigh

JoytoKey.
Heres how you use it. http://www.instructables.com/id/Use-an-Xbox-360-controller-as-a-mouse/ Good luck and Have fun!

It's ok Dave, we all have different ideas of leisure.
Thanks Kil3r! I'll try that out.

I know it's not free but if you'll ever want to try something different than xpadder or joytokey, go for pinnacle game profiler. There's a trial version. I use it with my xbox360 gamepad :)

buy a mouse, FPS are made to be played with one hand over the keyboard and one on the mouse

I used to love mouse and keyboard. (I still love them for Strategy games). Sometimes when I want to mess around, I love my 360 controller. I got it working with Shadow Warrior and Duke- it's great (much easier on my wrist- not to mention I can sit back in gamer stance on my couch as well).
I'm curious to how this joy2key is. I bought Xpadder awhile ago but I am always open to new options.

You can also use the keymapper in DosBox, though it doesn't work for the d-pad unless you set joysticktype to fcs in the conf file.
