I've finished all tutorials on here on c++ programming and I want to get into game programming and visual stuff( graphics etc.) I was wondering if there is any software that allows contronller input into the computer that doesnt cost more than say a couple hundred bucks.. I was thinking about getting spmething for xbox or playstation but all of those softwares are in the thousands of dollars.... my main focus is to have something with controller input... I'm willing to learn another programmin language and actually want to learn something else so let me know of what you know is avalible....

thanks cj
