There are many questions about this subject:

But the purpose of these questions/answers is to be able to use the gamepad for playing a game.

I would a like a solution to use the gamepad to control THE mouse.
To replace the mouse by the gamepad in all applications.
That way I could control my computer in the living-room from my couch with a wireless gamepad.
