Hey guys :D

So I'm using my PC wth my 47 inch sony tv and my wireless keyboard & mouse stopped working

Is there anyway to get the xbox 360 controller working similar to the default settings on the console version of the game? I'm using xpadder but the sticks are a bit clunky when moving( no where near the xbox 360 sensitivity when aiming) all of the other buttons work perfectly :)

They should natively support 360 gamepad. I never tried with MW2, but I did try gamepad with Blops once, it was natively supported.

All the games that support it support it natively, just install the official drivers, no need to install other programs.

The thing is that the MW series of cod games dont have native support, the only thing I've found is xpadder but its a pain in the ass to aim accurately compared to the xbox and ps3 versions of the game.

I'm still tinkering with xpadder's sensitivity settings to see what I can do about this.

Also, I read something about using a dedicated PC controller instead of a console controller. The article said that a dedicated pc controller should work better for FPS games, is this true? I was thinking of picking up a logitech dual action controller to see if it helps.

I have both a Logiech wired Dual Action controller and a wired 360 controller. I prefer the 360 controller not just because it's much more comfortable, but also because Windows 7 supports it natively. Makes sense since Microsoft owns both.

The 360 controller is great for supported games(Need for speed hot persuit, L4D, BOPS(only BOPS!), but for the MW series its useless, it wont recognize it unless I use a third party program!

I don't have a problem with a keyboard and mouse but the problem is that I don't have a wireless one now and I can't really play from the couch, also my kid likes to play and hates the keyboard and mouse since hes used to his friends console version.
