Any idea on how to add a gamepad to a game?

[Sledge_Gates1]

i am working on a 2 player splitscreen game and have 2 ideas.
A) assign a new camera control sequence (instead of mouse it uses keys for up down left and right)
B) use gamepads (controllers) for both players.
any ideas on how to add input controls for both? or at least one player?

A) assign a new camera control sequence (instead of mouse it uses keys for up down left and right)

I am not sure how a single gamepad can be used by both players

Here is a controller that has multiple input handlers (mouse, touch, keyboard and gamepad):
