Bought a controller yesterday and just installed it today. A couple of points...
If you buy a controller new it comes with an install disc, which I installed - seemed to avoid all the pain of downloading stuff from microsoft etc. (My PC had the right version of DirectX.)
Once I discovered how to use the buttons on the controller and "receiver" to connect, everything sprang into life.
Now, a question if I may. The LH joystick works fine for X and Y on my mill. To start with the RH stick L<->R axis was assigned to Z which I find slightly counter intuitive, so I reassigned RH U<->D, but though this worked it was very slow and there is no apparent way to change it. Is this a feature of the controller or can it be reconfigured please?
However I think this is a good gadget and great plug-in, much superior to the Shuttle Express I was using before. And no cable!
Thanks, John.
