Using Gamepad arrows and buttons in command line apps

There is an easier way if you really don’t want the game pad to act like a game pad but send key press, take out the keyboard, return it, search foe the small switches:

If you never touch them there will be a yellow/orange tape on top, you can remove it safely.

Change the switch #2 (the left one on the image) to be on the bottom, if you look at it like on the image.

Then put back the keyboard, and voila, the game pad now send key press!

Bonus, you can so that while the DevTerm is running!
