    Default PlayStation 2 Controller usage in PokerStars

    I've edited a few scripts and thrown them together to make a mostly mouse-free PokerStars experience for myself. I thought I would take a few moments to share this with everybody in case someone else wanted to try to do the same.

    Picture of PS Controller to USB hook-up I use
    Link to Purchase the Playstation Controller to USB hook-up I use ($15)
    Link to the AHK scripts to drive this (PS2.zip)

    Contents of PS2.zip:
    * StarsPics - Folder for BetPot Script
    * UBPics - Folder for BetPot Script
    * betpot_default_hotkeys.ahk - Edit this to change the buttons
    * BetPot-v0.2s.ahk - The driving BetPot script
    * Run Shit.ahk - Runs the three scripts required
    * StarsPlanner-v0.4g-fixed.ahk - StarsPlanner
    * Up And Down Control.ahk - Used for the up/down d-pad controls

    Out of the Box Controls:
    * D-Pad Up/Down - Cycles through windows like Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab
    * Select - Tab button, used to pick options Yes/No/Not Yet when waiting list windows pop up
    * Start - Enter button, used to pick options Yes/No/Not Yet when waiting list windows pop up
    * Square - Fold
    * X - Check or Call (Except against all-ins)
    * Circle - Raise
    * Triangle - Sets bet/raise size to various proportions of the pot
    * L1 - Sits at a table once it pops up in the first available seat counter-clockwise from the dealer tray
    * R1 - Checks/unchecks auto-post blinds on non-fast tables, and sit out next blind on fast tables
    * L2 - Decreases bet/raise size by 1 big blind
    * R2 - Increases bet/raise size by 1 big blind

    Notes:
    * This is mostly a brag post.
    * If you want the scripts to work with your own joystick/controller, you'll need to edit betpot_default_hotkeys.ahk and possibly Up And Down Control.ahk accordingly. The good news is it's not difficult to figure out, and you can get help at www.autohotkey.com
    * You'll need to have AutoHotKey installed for this to work.

    This is fucking sweet. I'm going to Best Buy today and I will look for the USB hook-up. I have several PS2 controller laying around.

    Side question, in the meantime, how do I adjust/change the betpot script for the mouse? I am only able to use the scroll wheel function. I can't get the right and left clicks to work. I want to be able to bet half, 2/3, and full pot with the mouse.

    Bumb, spooni can you help me out with my question above? Also, I'm assuming that a logitech controller designed for PC play will work with your AHK. It's the same thing minus your USB converter. Correct?

    Disregard about the bet pot. I researched it on 2+2.
