How do I create a custom config file in xboxdrv?

Question

I just got a wireless xbox 360 controller with a usb receiver. I have tried to use xboxdrv to get it working as a mouse. The --mouse command works alright, but I wanted to customize some of the buttons.
I have looked here, but I'm not particularly sure of my way around terminal, so I wouldn't mind a bit of help.
I understand you have to use --ui-buttonmap BTN=SYM but I don't see how to put them all together in a file. Could someone explain?

Solution 1

The directory where the example files are located is:

/usr/share/doc/xboxdrv/examples/mouse.xboxdrv  

I used the original mouse file as an example. Then I created a .xboxdrv file in a different directory and can open it with --config
Simple once I figured it out!

Solution 2

See the mouse.xboxdrv example file, which you can load via:

xboxdrv --config example/mouse.xboxdrv

Simply modify that to your liking.
