it was prolly already mentioned, but you can use Xpadder. to setup a gamepad. i did on my HTPC/Living room gaming PC and it is nearly identical to a regular XBOX setup, with the exception that there is no aim assist and the HUD is still that of a PC so there's no "power wheel". i think somebody make a fix for that if you really want it.
That being said, mouse and keyboard is so much better. you should really just try it. i must confess i actually bought an xbox360 controller for PC for ME2 and then i found out it wasn't supported. i was kinda bummed, but after i actually played the game with mouse and KB i got over it.
You saying you got good results with X-Padder? And who do I beg for a fix?
A mouse for fps/tps is just not right for me when you litterly point at the bad guy to aim instead of using some skill I consider very fun & gaming like to co-ordinate two analog stick to get it to aim where I want. Like using a steering wheel + pedal & shift to drive a car instead of pushing a toy car with one hand. A world of a difference.
Then there is the fact that useing a mouse, & especially a keyboard too, is just not as comfortable to me either (+ only seems to be made for computer desks). ie. I have to move my wrist, + maybe entire right hand too, to move a mouse instead of a just two thumbs that require seeminly way less energy, movement, & have myself overall in a much more confortable position of many choices available instead of just one.
Every game I emulate on PC (I'm a big gaming geek & must have access to all games ever made + I download old gaming mag scan & whatever else retro gaming related

), for whatever system or just PC game, I try to make it feel like I'm playing on a home gaming console or arcade. ie. drag image to a TV + hook up a gamepad/Arcade Stick/Steering Wheel/Light Gun = only way to game in my opinion. Anything else is an obvious downgrade to me.
If you find it works for you, hey, that's great. But I know for a fact it won't work for me. Not with how I was raised on gaming...
