Use your game controller to replace your keyboard and mouse
Triggerfinger software has developed a program that is clever in concept and may be of interest to UMPC owners who are looking for a small portable keyboard/ mouse combination. The program turns a USB game controller into a full QWERTY keyboard and mouse combination that can be used virtually anywhere due to the highly portable controller. The program web site has a short video demo of the program in action so you can see for yourself. Triggerfinger is in beta and there is no information on the web site about eventual pricing for the program. You can download the demo and try it for yourself and if you do so let us know how it works for you.

It could be alot more useful it let you assign which axis do what. For some reason my XBox 360 controller defaults to moving the mouse up and down with the left and right triggers, and left and right with up and down on the right analog stick. Not very intuitive. Having to press two buttons to do a left click is odd as well.
The typing itself I haven’t bothered delving into yet, but since I’m on a laptop I’m just not very tempted to yet :) When they’ve got assignment customization involved, then I’ll be more interested.
I just installed a somewhat similar program for Sony Ericsson phones that connects via Bluetooth and is completely customizable. Very easy to set up and use, though obviously less potential then a device with analog sticks. Gives a guide as to how it should be done, though.
