xpadder is super simple...its entirely a guided GUI and it has a well written website faq too...the hardest thing to do is going on the site and finding a pic you like for your 360 controller (you have to copy it to the clipboard and paste it into the GUI) then you add the buttons...you get a bunch of possible key mapping "modes" (which are I think 8 choices of entirely customized keymaps...so it's great for emulators...my remote is mapped for classic NES, N64, PS1, SEGA, not to mention a XBMC remote and a file manager mode)
once you finish the guided set up, at anytime you can change the keymap again with the simple gui...it cost $10, but I would highly recommend it...not only is it compatible in eden but any program on your computer...since the keymap just sends keystrokes and mouse gestures (there are also toggle and rapid fire modes) so anything you can do with a keyboard and mouse you can do with your 360 controller.

I agree henry, I just suggest a UI keymapper for the simplicity
Also, in xpadder you can switch keymap profiles with the click of a button

sorry - at loss here... there is literally no reason why it shouldn't work...
Does nothing work? Neither pressing up/down nor pressing left/right?

Thanks to your helpful post I've got my xbox controller working. The only issue I'm having is that if I add the following entries to use the left analog stick, it's way too sensitive. The selection just flies across the screen. Any tips?
<axis limit="-1" id="2">Up</axis>
<axis limit="+1" id="2">Down</axis>
<axis limit="-1" id="1">Right</axis>
<axis limit="+1" id="1">Left</axis>

I'm wondering why doesn't XBMC include a .xml file for the xbox 360 wireless controller instead of having the users go through such hassle to tweak it. Something matching the XBMC for Xbox controls should be easy to include in the XBMC package.

I agree - don't know why it wouldn't be in the default keymaps...
