topcat098 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I use a 360 Controller for health reasons (I have RSI type problems and even 1 18 hour Skyrim day would put my arms out of action for a week if using KB and mouse). However some things are much better done with a mouse e.g. The new SkyUI inventory and have you tried doing the timed archery trials at (well I suppose it would be a spoiler to say more) with a controller!From the total silence on the subject in any forum I presume it is impossible at present, but does anyone know if it will be possible when the CK comes out. There are several mods enabling different keystrokes, which are nice, but I want the mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDRKrotchetyUSN Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Yes, indeed. I just want to use my Saitek Pro Gamer Command Unit with a left analog thumbstick and 21 programmable keys (3 modes, 1 shift button for a total 126 commands) and my mouse. The only way I can get Skyrim to recognize the joystick is to trick it with X360ce software, but if Skyrim thinks you're using a controller, it shuts off the mouse and keyboard. Whose dumba$$ idea was that anyway? With "controller" disabled in the menu or .ini,I can program the stick to emulate WASD but that negates the advantage of analog momement, not to mention that it is so wonky and unnatural. I mean, do you walk around town or your home going only in one of 8 compass headings? I dunno about you, but I'm completely capable of walking 360 degrees of motion and at more speeds than "walk", "run" or "sprint". We don't need a huge mod in that sense, just a small script to enable mouse and keyboard if "controller" is enabled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Author X Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Agreed, this is the mod I came here to request (though obviously I searched first and found this thread). I don't know if it's even possible to mod this behavior, or how easy it would be, but I would greatly appreciate it. Either the mouse and keyboard or the controller work pretty well, but it would be nice to switch easily between them - for example, roaming around and using magic with my controller, then switching to my bow and just taking my right hand off to aim with my mouse. I have no idea why it disables the keyboard + mouse when the controller is attached, it's not like I'm going to accidentally start hitting keys or something.

thompsonar Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I too was going to request this mod when I found this thread. I really do like sitting back and using my controller most of the time but when things get serious I just want to be able to grab the mouse and take care of business. The SKYui problem is frustrating. I have to unplug the controller and use my mouse to shop and store items in containers. It can't be too hard to fix this can it? If I knew anything at all about anything I'd try to do it. But I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handakof Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 a second this..i am planning on using Voice commands (with shoot 1.6.4) to control Skyrim..and if the keyboard is disabled it will just be impossible to map all those keys to a controller..i would love to see a mod that let us use both xbox360 controller and keyboard/mouse simultaneously..it doesn't sound that impossible to me.. (but then again..i don't know first thing about programming :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handakof Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 i know we are not supposed to bump threads, but i just want to see any kind of discussion about this mod..why it may be possible..why it's not and won't be possible..anything!i have a $20 purchase (for VAC) hanging on the balance on the presence of this MOD, so i would really appreciate if someone would explain to me how/why it will be/wont be possible..thanks, and sorry again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonar Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I second that, would like some sort of response from someone that knows how to program/mod. We obviously haven't a clue, but a simple "Not Possible" would suffice. I've all but stopped using my controller because I can't stand using it in the menus. I still would love to know if it's possible. I believe ample time has passed and someone out there has to know by now if this can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
