Step 1: Softwares!

There are plenty of instructables telling you how to make your xbox controller work with your pc so if you don't know, go and read one because i'm gonna pretend you know already!
The first piece of software to download is Mixxx. You can get this from Mixxx.org. Download and install.

You will not need Joy2Midi if you are using a USB Game controller. Windows Vista/7 got a utility in the configuration panel for that. XP and lower have gameport support too.

For "Softwares2," you could get GlovePIE. It requires a bit of programming, but it is very easy to learn AND you can use Wii Remotes with it.

I want to see Daft Punk doing some wiimote mixing. Coolest thing ever.

Joy2key is easier to use. I dont have an awful lot of time so it was just easier. But thanks for the heads up i'll see if i can do something else with it.

GlovePIE is a lot more flexible, though.
