Config Xbox 360 Controller for Mario Kart Wii

[InJustice]

I got a Xbox 360 Controller(with cable) and also the official Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver which is confirmed working.
Now I want to play Mario Kart Wii. With keyboard and Wii Controller it works fine, but I also want to use my Xbox Controller. Dolphin recognizes my Controller and I can edit the buttons(I chose Emulated WiiMote) but when I want to play using the buttons on my controller does nothing, no reaction although its connected and recognized.
Does someone have a solution for my problem?
Thanks in advance

Why do you use the Xbox 360 controller to emulate the wiimote? Mario Kart Wii also supports the Classic controller and the GameCube controller. Read below, because it's important to know what to choose.

1. If your controller supports rumble, I would strongly recommend using the GameCube controller.
Configure that by clicking on the "GC Pad" icon and I think that the game recognizes what controller you use automatically.
Just make sure that at least ONE GC controller is plugged in, by clicking on Settings>Gamecube. (Memory card is not required)
By using the GC controller, you can also disconnect the Wiimote, unless you use the Home menu.

2. If your controller doesn't support rumble, use the Classic controller, which can't rumble. Configure it by clicking on the "Wiimote" icon and through there look for the expansions. Select "Classic controller" and you can configure it. With this, you can also access the Home menu and move the cursor using the left stick.

Ok I got my Xbox 360 Controller working. I just had to set it on GC Pad #1. But now I cant use my keyboard anymore which I used before to play. Can´t I use both my Controller and my Keyboard?
Thanks in advance.

I don't get exactly what you mean, so, I'll explain both cases.
(Under the text you can find a screenshot of my configurations to help you, if you don't know how the GC pad configuration works and you want to learn.)

1st case: If you mean that you want to use keys of the keyboard and buttons of the controller at the same time during the game, change the device (where the yellow ellipse is) every time you want to input buttons/keys.
For example, when you want to configure the analog sticks, set to input from the gamepad, then configure. If you want to input other buttons, like Start, or Mic and you want to push something on the keyboard, set to keyboard and configure. No matter how you leave the settings, if you have inputs from both gamepad and keyboard, you can use both.

2nd case: If you mean that in case you don't have your controller with you and you're bored to configure again, then this is easy. Use the "profile" feature. As I understand, the last controls you've configured are for the XBOX 360 gamepad, right? In the GC pad window, on the up right (in the red ellipse) you'll see about "profiles". Type in the blank place (where the green arrow shows) the word "controller", "gamepad", or whatever helps you, then click save.
After that configure the keyboard again. When you're done, type in the blank place "keyboard" and click save.
When you want to load those "ready" configurations you've made, go to select profiles (where the blue arrow points). Once you've selected the one you want, click it and then click "Load". Then you're ready to play!
