Xpadder allows to control the mouse cursor by using a joystick,gamepad,etc. Xpadder only works on Windows, however I'm not sure if it would work on Ubuntu too, I'm using a XBOX360 Wireless Controller with Xpadder on Windows.

Could Xpadder Work on Ubuntu too?


This is pretty close to Xpadder for linux...
