xbox 360 usb controller

is there a way to incorporate an xbox 360 controller into blender3d game creation.
.

use a driver to run it as a joystick…

the drivers came with my alienware alpha.

Of course.

Yes you can, just use the joystick sensor logic brick or python API.

is there a python code that would help

bge.logic.joysticks[0].hatValues for example gives a list of the active direction of the pad.
