Does anyone know of a good gamepad library I could use in C#? I don't believe I can use direct input since the managed DirectX library is defunct now...

When did MDX lib become defunct?

Anyway, you have choices, you could use Tao.SDL for input, or use OIS via a wrapper from C#.

Edit - maybe bekas could be able to create a CLI/C++ OIS wrapper

Trust me, you do NOT want to be using MDX right now. Micrsoft has "replaced" it with XNA.

I'll check out OIS. Thanks.

I would like to see an ois wrapper... i was planning on doing it myself unless Bekas is doing it with his amazing toool.

The problem is with MDX 2.0, because it was in beta state and has an "expiration date". MDX 1.1 is still usable.

At the moment I have no plans for an OIS wrapper, MDX 1.1 is sufficient for my needs.

@bekas
Yeah, I've started using the SDL wrapper pjcast mentioned, and it's working fine for what I need as well.
