Is it possible to get an xbox controller to work with this game in steam?

[mufcdiver]

Yes

The controller works very well but there is an issue with the menus.

i suggest pinniclegamer program... i believe its up to 75 percent off to may something.

No controller support is why I haven't bought any of the Mass Effect games for my pc. I have mass effect 2 on PS3, would have bought all three for my pc if it had controller support. The pinnacle game profiles are kind of a toss up, some games work awesome with it other games controls with it are just so so.

IMO you don't need controller support keyboard works best:
Movement: WASD
Battle Menu: L Shift
Sprint / Take Cover: Spacebar
Primary Fire: L Mouse
Aim: R Mouse
Switch Weapon: M Wheel

Combined with the ability to map abilitis to the 1-9 number slots I pretty much left controllers in the dust after ME1 on 360. Give it a shot and I expect you will enjoy if not prefer the Keypoard/Mouse setup.

Its not that I dont NEED a controller its that I want to use a controller. Its so much more relaxing on the hands : /

ME1 is worth the effort to use KB/mouse, ME2 is a nightmare, and ME3 is very playable, but ME1 is better with keyboard/mouse :)

Oh Ok. I wasn't planning on getting me 1 or me 3 for the comp since me 3 is only in origin apparently

A long long time ago Bioware said it was too much work for them to make it compatible with the official Windows X360 controller for some reason.

Unsure on that one as it's platform of origin was the 360 which at least in my case, was play via a 360 controller ;)

This guy has been working on this. Apparently it even has radial support and vibration now! I am considering trying it out, but haven't tested yet.

[C4ShopLifter]

Interesting, Ill check it out!

This is what I'm currently using. There's 1 or 2 quirks with it. You have to use Gibbed's Save Editor to map a power to the Y button, but this is stated in the readme for the download. Also, if you experience the Cerberus Login Issue (which I currently am experiencing...) it can be a headache. Otherwise it basically gives the game EXACT Xbox 360 controller support, including force feedback.

Yeah. The cerberus thing is a pain. I've been playing with it now though. I don't think that being logged in really matters though? Once you have the DLCs loaded and everything. I have access to all the DLCs even though it doesn't log in some times.

As far as the power to the Y button, I haven't even tried to map it. I can easily play without it. I don't mind pausing to select the power as much.

Very fun playing with 360 controller for a change!

Man, I completely forgot that there was no controller support and bought the game for PC since I no longer have a last-gen console, but really wanted to play Mass Effect. What a let down. Nothing beats a controller for relaxed gaming, kicking back in a chair to enjoy the game. I tried the keyboard/mouse thing with Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect and it's just supremely uncomfortable, for me personally. I don't know why they don't support the XBox controller when most Windows games do, especially since this game already has controller support on consoles. As much as I enjoy using my PC for games, given its superior power, I just would not use it if I had to hunch over my keyboard just to play a game. I'm really hoping that one of the options above works for me. I'm kind of shocked that Bioware dropped the ball on this one. More options are always better than fewer options. Thanks to the posters above.
