Yes, yes, I've seen the dozens of posts throughout the forum and the web related to game controllers and PD.

Unfortunately, I can't get PD to recognize the Xbox controller at all through [hid]. I've downloaded the driver from tattieboogle.net and gotten my computer to recognize it (through USB Prober), but it refuses to show up in PD when I send the print message to [hid].

I've tried mostly everything and cannot see why it won't work. Please advise.

does anything show up when you poll [hid]? Perhaps your pd permissions are not loose enough.
