Product Description:

ControllerMate is a controller programming tool that allows users to add custom functionality to standard HID devices (joysticks, trackballs, gamepads, keyboards, etc.)

Using a highly graphical interface and drag-and-drop editing, users can program controller buttons to perform complex keyboard and mouse sequences. Programming is accomplished using "building blocks". Each type of building block performs a different type of function. Building blocks can be individually configured and linked together to perform an endless variety of tasks.

Common programming tasks that can be performed with ControllerMate include:

Configuring controller buttons to act like individual keyboard keys
Configuring controller buttons to generate simple text
Configuring controller axes to act like mouse axes
Assigning an AppleScript to a controller button
Redefining keyboard keys
Assigning a custom acceleration curve to a mouse

Amazing Program - Version: 4.3.5, 7/27/2008 01:22AM PST

This program is Great! Helped me with my problems. Takes a little bit to get used to but well worth the 15 dollars it costs.

I might not be smart enough for this application. I don't ever think I've used those words.

I don't do games and just got the hang of using my cell phone.

I do like to restore old photos and colorize them and would like more control of the mouse.

I was going to get a drawing pad but I'm saving up for a G5.

I tried both USB Overdrive and GamePad Companion in order to get my Logitech Cordless Rumplepad 2 working properly in DOSBox (for playing old DOS games on my Intel iMac).
While GamePad Companion worked pretty well for a simple setup, it had nowhere near the flexibility I was looking for.
With ControllerMate, I'm able to set up a different configuration for each game, utilizing all twelve buttons, the two analog sticks and the D-pad.
I can have ControllerMate turn on a certain configuration automatically when I open DOSBox, and I can even program a button with a chain of DOS commands, enabling me to mount a drive, choose a directory and run an executable with a single click!

Sure, there's still room for improvement, but this is hands down the best $15 I've spent in a long while.
