X-box 360 controllers

[FFXId00d]

Sorry for the n00bness of this request, but does anyone use an X-box 360 controller for the PC version of FFXI? I recently purchased one only to find that the supplied driver treats the lower hair triggers only as "Z-axis" controllers and FFXI doesn't pick them up. If anyone has discovered a way to use the hair triggers in game, could you please enlighten me? Perhaps another driver or something else? Sorry for the inconvenience and ..... post count.

the author reviewed the controller and was annoyed at the same thing, but then posted a "nevermind, see this post" pointing to the above.

Actually, install the XBCD controller driver for it. It works wonders.

Yeah the xbcd drivers are the way to go. Turns the triggers into normal buttons that you can just program.

Another useful program (there may be a free program that does the same somewhere) is Pinnacle Profiler from http://www.pinnaclegameprofiler.com/

I use this software to program extra buttons into alternative key combinations (typically i map the back, start, and right triggers to trigger macros like alt+1, alt+0, etc)
