Barlas Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hey guys, i'm wondering if there's a mod or something to let me use a Steelseries 3GC controller for Skyrim. I would like to stop using my keyboard, since the game feels like it needs a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitdman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 My Thrustmaster dual trigger 3 in 1 works great with the Pnnacle game profiler.:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmethystDeceiver Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) any controller that uses xinput will work natively in skyrim. if your controller is dinput only, you can use soemthing like suggested above, pinnacle, or other 3rd party software that lets you map xinput from any dinput source. im guessing this would be a lot less hassle than modding skyrim to recognize any non-xinput controller (if its even possible) Edited February 8, 2012 by AmethystDeceiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCrimsonXXHazeX Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Motioninjoy is a free program that allows you to use a lot of different controllers, unless it's only made for PS3 controllers because that's what I use. Honestley, I think Skyrim is great without a controller, I only really use one when my PC is hooked up to my TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio9 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have controller that is more like PS3 than xbox, so i downloaded xbox controller emulator (ximput), tweaked ini so it fits my controller and it works. There is only one problem, gameplay sucked, simply because it isn't fable like, I needed more shortcuts and I wanted to aim precisely so I went back to mouse + keyboard.

HideInLight Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) For today's games on the PC, you either:a. Use a Xbox360 controller.b. Emulate your controller do be one. Use SkyUI, with categorized favorites mod. It's 10 times better than the vanilla GUI, even for the controller. Was surprised how fast I started navigating the windows.

Bismarck Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The Logitech F310 works well with Skyrim and it was quite cheap. It even has 4 sensors for its directional pad (perfect for Street Fighter and Co.)However, games like this are better played with a keyboard, at least in my oppinion.

SwindleUK Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Use a 360 pad. it works out of the box. the icons in game change the moment you plug it in. The tutorials on controls refresh. I personally find anything but native controller support is not good enough to consider ditch the keyboard. Skyrim works best with a pad, bar favourite items. pc can have 9 (num keys), xbox pad has 2 (left and right on dpad) 360 controller support is becoming standard for new PC games.
