Hello all

I’m working on a queue manager (Check it out [Here](https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnXXk5PX0LXn6BucZYkTMhw4Jtnc?e=Ra3aJu) ) and thought it would be nice to add some Easter eggs that can be triggered with an Xbox Controller. Does anyone know how to detect XInput/Xbox controller inputs in processing?

I would use reWASD to map the controller inputs to letters, but that kinda defeats the purpose of it being an Easter egg.

Thanks in Advance

EDIT: I have a Wired Xbox One Controller

You might try the Game Control Plus (GCP) library (latest version 1.2.2) which can be installed through the Contributions Manager. A lot of info about the library can be found [here](http://www.lagers.org.uk/gamecontrol/index.html)

No promises that it will work 😉

Thanks! I’ll look into that
