Is it possible to set up multiple controllers without writing each one out in the Input Manager?

Question

For context, I've read all of these:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/multiple-xbox-360-controllers-in-unity.44623/

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/471432/setting-up-inputs-for-multiple-controllers.html

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/629519/how-to-map-multiple-controllers.html

I have no issue sitting down for a bit and just writing out each of 4 controllers, but if there were a quicker way of going about this, I would like to know.

I've considered tampering with ProjectSettings/InputManager.asset but it doesn't open as cleanly as I thought it would (tried using Atom).

So, as a question: is it possible to set up multiple controllers without having to write each one in the Input Manager?

I think what you're doing is the only way to setup multiple joysticks with Unity's InputManager. You also have to tune the gravity/deadzone/etc values separately for each gamepad : (

There are both free and paid alternatives to unity's input manager that might make this easier.

After poking at asset file when I first approached this problem, these became the apparent options.

I would prefer to keep things as plain as possible, but if this is what must be done for what I want, then I'll give it a look.
