Rotating control stick quickly on mac?

[hoshinokirbys]

Ok, first, this thread was the only help i could find. And the suggestions didn't help at all. I have tried:

• Setting the directional keys to 7, 8, 9 ,0 so i could swipe across
• Using Keyboard Maestro to create a shortcut
  

I know this will be required later for tube mode, but i have no controller. Is it more worth it to invest in a controller than to try to solve it otherwise? What kind should i even get?
I have a save state loaded in the super hammer tutorial. It is the farthest i've gotten

Forgot to mention, this is for paper mario: the thousand year door

It really depends on the precise application that that game uses... It's quite possible that the 7, 8, 9, 0 trick is going too fast, or too slow! It depends on the game really...

I would highly recommend investing in a controller. It is SO much better than using keyboard and mouse! I'd recommend a DS3/DS4 with the SCP drivers, but a 360 controller would be fine.
