Is there any way to lock the mouse cursor to an analog stick, on a regular Xbox 360 controller, in OS X?
Basically, I want the mouse cursor to move with the analog, but also conform to its constraints. That is, when I release the analog stick and the analog resets to the center position, I would prefer the cursor to also move back to the center of the screen.
I've tried out all sorts of things on ControllerMate, but maybe I'm missing something. This video shows another user using the same sort of feature I am trying to access.

For future reference, any question asking if software exists is classified as a recommendation request, for the purposes of Arqade. Instead, ask yourself 'what do I want it to do', and just ask us if there is a way to complete your actual objective. A good answer will point you in the direction of the software, anyway, if it does exist. Furthermore, if there is any way to complete the same function without software, your still leaving your question open to the other solutions.

You can use custom software like Enjoy2. Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac, so I can't test it myself, but, based on the code and the documentation, it is possible to configure a mapping where your analog stick's offset will translate to the mouse cursor's location on the string. To add further complications, Enjoy2 appears to have been abandoned.
Alternatively, USB Overdrive is actively maintained, but not open source, so I have even less of an idea how to go about configuring it properly.
