Xbox 360 Controller for Mac

Ok, so I want to use my Xbox 360 controller for basic keyboard and mouse commands.
I know there is a driver to use for Mac games Here, but I want to be able to use my controller as a mouse/keyboard for everyday things, like iTunes, Video editing and such.
Does anyone know of a driver to do this?
Or...might anyone know how to configure the controller to do that?
Thanks for your help. 🙂
 
WHY!?

OK, now that I got that out of my system:
I have seen programs for Windows that let you turn joystick movements into mouse commands, but you have to run the program manually and need the keyboard and mouse working before the joystick, so it wont act as a full replacement.
Never heard of anything similar for Apple. I'd recommend checking out some of their enthusiasts sites for help. Somebody is always working on weird apps.

I would also like everyone to note that I did not make any anti-mac comments, and I deserve big brownie points.
 
I can understand wanting to use it for gaming (which you can easily do) but why would you want to use something with less than a dozen inputs as a keyboard? They make small, compact wireless keyboards that will do a far better job.
That said, your best bet is to search for a digital-keyboard program that will let you navigate it with the d-pad. Perhaps two programs, one provides a mouse navigable keyboard interface and the second translates the joystick movements into cursor movements.
