According to this clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNcrGEoE_wE) the Xbox Game Controller can be used to navigate the Milestone Smart Client.  The video does not provide much detail on the setup.  Has anyone successfully set this up?  If so, please provide any details you can or even better some sort of documentation or guide would be great!  Thanks!

I have this working...the video kind of implies that you can use the joystick part of the controller as the navigation point.  This is not quite the case.  The buttons can be used for GUI navigation, the joysticks are only used for PTZ control.  Any feedback is still welcomed!

One of our larger customers in the States uses the Xbox controller almost exclusively for their PTZ controllers.  They said they tested multiple controllers (standard USB joysticks) and said the Xbox controller provided the best control.  They also found it easy to use and easy to get familiar with since so many people are familiar with Xbox controllers.
