Controller support?
FFXIV and ESO spoiled me with using a controller to play an MMO. Does this game also have controller support?

I'm guessing not? Looking at the main page and other resources... Hmm... that is a shame.

You can make ANY game work with a Controller on PC

use Joytokey, basically it emulates your keyboard buttons on your gamepad so yeah every pc game is controller supported i guess :P but playing League Of Legends or Dota 2 on gamepad is not a good idea
Hi Official support no, but I have succesfully used the xbox 360 and even got a flight stick to work for the LOLs once cause I was bored. Also Steam controller will work out of box with it.

I've added a ps4 controller profile. I've been using it for about an year and it works quite well. Click "show other controller types" to see it if you don't have a dualshock.

Hey, even though I dont play with controller, thanks for adding that. I hope SWTOR returns like the jedi did :) Great job in helping the community!

No problem. Created it to play from my couch. Now I use it for all solo stuff. Gives the game an action mmo vibe.

there are no steam controller profiles except for ps4 controller. idk why. you mean we have to set up our own profile, but we can do that "out of the box", right? i've been waiting for a controller profile for years.

personally, i dont want to use another program for support, just steam controller.

So the Steam controller works huh? I have one, but only really use it for Civ 6. I'll check it out. Thanks everyone!

There are more buttons to press in this game than there are controllers in the world.

Nothing but home-grown. There's no x/dinput support at all, so you can only do keyboard/mouse emulation.

It's not made for it though, unlike the other games you mentioned. No controller-based UI or button prompts.

I have never made a steam controller profile before, I only use mine when I am sick and game from bed, but if I can figure it out Ill make one for the community
