Reply to Xbox 360 Controller Midi for Traktor?

http://www.djranking s.com/2008/09/05/how-to-wiij/

After reading the above aritcle I am curious has anyone tried this or know if the same principle could work with an xbox 360 controller. I assume that xbox controllers work off IR signals similar to the Wiimote, its just a matter of interpreting these signals as midi.

Its just an idea, i would never perform like this but as a short term solution before i buy a VCI-100 for Traktor, but would it do the job?

Thanks,

PS: i would just be using it for transport functions such as loading tracks and playing, Toggle deck A/B/C/D, maybe loop in loop out also? nothing too fancy
