Well, I bought Left 4 Dead 2 not all that long ago and it's a bit tricky to move with just a keyboard. So, I bought a game controller like this

On the yoyo game maker, I programmed some of my games to use the controller (I always wanted to see what that would be like). And so what I'm wondering now, is if there are any flash games that support a game controller like this. If so, could you give a few examples of some.

not really, anything besides the actual creators controlers are kindof pieces of crap....

ex. sony makes good controlers
ex. microsoft makes good controlers
ex. logitech makes not very good controlers, just like any other off brand

D-pad placement is like PS3's and buttons (A,b,y,x) from Xbox. I just noticed that.

Well soon enough you'll learn that the mouse and keyboard is superior to the game pad when it comes to FPS.

On topic no, flash games usually don't have game pad support unless its programmed to. And even still the game was made for mouse and keyboard in mind.

Check out Xpadder, a program which lets you assign keyboard buttons to a gamepad.

If you just mapped the normal keyboard controls on your gamepad, it should be possible to play flash games with it.

At your first post, Visitlegend, it actually isn't anything special. I found it at target for 25 bucks and bought it the same day. It plugs into your computer through a USB cord and does it's job, but isn't as nice as the more expensive, but nicer, Wireless control for the Xbox.

Thanks for the tip
I'll be sure to check that out sometime and see if it'll work. Right now I can play games in fullscreen, I have an add-on (I know about the .swf thing toom but it's easier in my opinion just to click a button) so the next thing to make the gaming experience go up would be getting some more use out of the remote.
