Using an XBox 360 Controller with Source Games

To make both of the analog sticks work in Source games copy this joystick.cfg file, and put it in the cfg folder. This folder is typically located at:

Half-Life 2:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\*USERNAME*\half-life 2\hl2\cfg

Counter-Strike Source:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\*USERNAME*\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg

Day of Defeat Source:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\*USERNAME*\day of defeat source\dod\cfg

Half-Life 2 Deathmatch:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\*USERNAME*\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\cfg

Half-Life Source:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\*USERNAME*\half-life source\hl1\cfg

Then launch the game, Once the the game is loaded follow the instructions below:

1. Check the 'Joystick', and 'Joystick Look' boxes under the 'Mouse' tab in the options menu.
2. Go to Keyboard, Advanced, and check the 'Enable Developers Console (~)' box.
3. Open the Developer Console with the ~ key, and type: "exec joystick" (without the quotes)

You can then bind the additional keys (such as fire, reload, etc...) using the keyboard menu.

If you would like to use the typical Xbox controller setup, copy the following lines into the top of the config.cfg file for the proper game using notepad. The config.cfg file can be found in the same location referenced above, or alternatively enter each line manually into the developers console.

 bind "JOY1" "+jump"
 bind "JOY2" "+reload"
 bind "JOY3" "+speed"
 bind "JOY4" "+use"
 bind "AUX5" "+attack2"
 bind "AUX6" "+attack"
 bind "AUX7" "impulse 100"
 bind "AUX9" "+duck"
 bind "AUX10" "+zoom"
 bind "AUX29" "lastinv"
 bind "AUX30" "invnext"
 bind "AUX31" "phys_swap"
 bind "AUX32" "invprev"

NOTE: The trigger buttons on the XBox 360 controller are not currently supported by the Source engine. The L and R shoulder buttons should work properly.
