I was wondering if anybody knew of a control panel or ANYTHING that aollows the arrow pointer to be controlled by a USB Game Controller rather than by the mouse. If anyone knows of one (Free, Shareware OR Comercial Purchase) please let me know. I need this alternate way to controll through my controller while I am Lacking a mouse and don't have the money to actually buy one (yet).
Thank you
 
Well, how about Mouse Keys in the Universal Access Preferences? It'll let you at least use the numeric keypad as a mouse.
 
Yup. And, if you want to go even farther...

You can use the aforementioned mouse keys feature in conjunction with an app called "Gamepad companion." It will let you assign the keys of the number pad to the controller. I do this and it works just spiffy.
 
USB Overdrive has a Joystick part, in which you can probably set the stick to control the cursor. But I suggest you use the Universal Access technique that David suggested.
