How do I create a custom config file in xboxdrv?

I just got a wireless xbox 360 controller with a usb receiver. I have tried to use xboxdrv to get it working as a mouse. The --mouse command works alright, but I wanted to customize some of the buttons.

I have looked here, but I'm not particularly sure of my way around terminal, so I wouldn't mind a bit of help.

I understand you have to use --ui-buttonmap BTN=SYM but I don't see how to put them all together in a file. Could someone explain?

The directory where the example files are located is:

/usr/share/doc/xboxdrv/examples/mouse.xboxdrv

I used the original mouse file as an example. Then I created a .xboxdrv file in a different directory and can open it with --config

Simple once I figured it out!
