It uses DirectInput not XInput.

Could we swap or have both options?
This would open up the ability to use both triggers at once or so I believe.

I don't plan on porting to XInput but I do plan on making an SDL2 port which does support XInput. Also they're wrong about DirectInput with proportional buttons. I don't know what their reasons are for not supporting it on the 360 controller but it is definitely possible to do proportional buttons in DirectInput.

You can use both triggers if you switch to the XBCD driver. Also you can assign different stuff to be on the same input I like to have both sticks lean forward/back so in some rough stuff I can use the right stick so I don't accidentally steer.

Tried it, didn't work on w8 for some reason. It just installs the windows drivers again and always uses them. I just use xpadder for multiple assignments which doesn't work for things like triggers and sticks.

Ahh I have 7 so never ran into that issue. I wish M$ would just come out with a better driver. I had to go into device manager and uninstall the controller to get it to work with the XBCD driver, not sure if that is what you did but hopefully that might help.

Yeah I uninstalled it then installed the XBCD but when I reconnected the controller it re installed the windows ones.
