No native controller-support as far as I've seen, would love it though... since I'm currently playing it with a PS3 controller utilizing Xpadder to macro the buttons outside of the game. Native-support would allow for game-detection to see if you're "in combat", "out of combat", "in menus/UI", etc... since outside you have to map buttons to several different flip-profiles (like a whole new set for holding down "R1" for instance). :steamsad:

A macro-program like Xpadder, or several others, allow you to map keyboard/mouse buttons to a gamepad/controller... so for instance you can map R2 and L2 to work like left and right mouse clicks.

I have my OS set to detect it as either PS3 or XBox controller (so it'll work for any game that is set to detect one and not the other, which most just attempt to detect an Xbox controller)... but I'm also using the stand-alone non-Steam client... as swapping to Steam has had a handful of issues that I didn't want to have to deal with. :steamhappy:

PS - Even if Steam is detecting the controller outside of game, as in non-native, that'd be pretty much the equivalent of using a controller macro-program outside of the non-Steam client. :steammocking:
