PC Interface woes? 360 Controller+Pinnacle to the rescue!

I remembered seeing something about the Pinnacle Game Profiler on an XBCD setup page a while back, and I thought I'd share with you all.

http://www.pinnaclegameprofiler.com/

That software, once installed, allows you to map ANYTHING to your 360 controller. For example, here's what I did:

Mapped the arrow keys to the L stick.
Mapped the numpad to the R stick.
Mapped the Enter key to the R trigger.
Mapped the Backspace key to the L trigger.
Mapped [ to the Left Bumper
Mapped ] to the Right Bumper
Mapped Esc to the Start Button.
Mapped T to the Back button.
Mapped Space to the A button.

You get the point.

You can emulate the Keyboard interface (even assigning mouse to the L stick, moving your cursor with the stick, etc) or anything else...hell, you could even browse Windows with it if you were that desperate.

The catch? It's shareware, 30 day trial and a $20 fee afterward. But, for me, it's well worth it. Moving the R stick and pulling the trigger to navigate the quick menus in-game and all of that makes it worlds quicker for me.

Any opinions?
