![]() ![]() They all run the same now.īeing a Linux user, only downside is Xpadder missing Linux support, however I run most CAD programs in Windows environment so that is really no big deal. I mapped my gamepad keys in order to have the same functions on the same gamepad buttons, so I don’t have to remember shortcuts and combinations for other CAD programs I don’t use as often as Sketchup. That’s a BIG plus, as Xpadder will let you save different profiles. I am so happy about this solution and the work now flowing much faster and easier, that I decided to share my experience with the community.Īn added bonus of this solution compared to the 3dconnexion navigators/pads is that the gamepad/mouse combination can be used in any other CAD program - or windows based software. The rest of the buttons I use for most common tools and functions.Īs a result I am now able to work long time without ever having to move my hands from the mouse and gamepad and I also seldom have to select common tools and functions from the menu, the toolbars, or the keyboard. I have configured the two left triggers of the PS2 gamepad so they are used to pan and rotate associated to the mouse movement, while the zoom function is still associated to the mouse wheel. Through the Xpadder software I configured the 17 buttons and 2 joysticks of my 9.99 Euro PS2 Gamepad, plus I have 5 more configurable buttons and a scroll wheel on the mouse. It is simple and compact software program. It is lightweight program and have control over the games. It is also safe and secure to download and use the program. I have built a sort of cradle for the game pad, to keep it stable on my desktop, and to support my wrist/hand on a soft neoprene lined surface as I work. Xpadder for windows is application to control the pc,keyboard and mouse. Gamepad on the left, mouse on the right of my keyboard. So I decided to try a cheap alternative using a Playstation 2 gamepad and the XPadder (freeware) software associated to a simple 5 button mouse. However, the larger 3dconnexion pads are quite expensive. Having only two buttons is definitely a limitation, for those - like me - who don’t care using the keyboard and prefer having the most common functions on predefined, readily available buttons. The space Mouse is not very expensive at about 100 Euro, but its still too much for me not being a professional, and and it offers only two configurable buttons. Xpadder is licensed as freeware or free, for Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating system without restriction.I have been looking into a 3dconnexion controller for a while but finally decided against it due to the cost.
