How is this on controller?

[Lienhart]

I grew up playing with mouse and keyboard. I still prefer mouse and keyboard. Except I have RSI that's gotten worse over the last decade because my job is software development....which means I'm on a computer, a lot.

So, I've found controllers far more comfortable but I've given up on FPS as a result. I've heard this game is slow, tank like, which means maybe controller will be something I can learn?

I played a bunch of Eternal on M&K but could never finish it because mouse arm would feel like it's on fire within 20 minutes :')

EDIT: To clarify: I want VERY STRONG auto aim. Near aimbot like. I cannot ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ aim on controller and do not have shame in this lol

EDIT EDIT: I have spent thousands on physio, can run 10km in under 60 minutes, and have a powerlift total of 1000. Please do not suggest anything related to using WASD or advice on the RSI because it's taken 10+ years to accept this :')

I'm playing with a controller right now and it's not terrible, I'm not using the aim assist though, so I have no idea how good it is. I would be playing with keyboard and mouse but for some reason half the controls don't register after I remapped them. And as someone who has never been able to use the WASD format effectively in a single game ever, remapping the controls is a necessity. So, I am forced to use the controller, but even so, it has been a fair experience so far. This game isn't as fast-paced and twitchy as Eternal was. There are less buttons to be constantly pressing and I am thankful for that.

never too late to get the wasd going. maybe give it another try? if i can do it, anyone can

There is no Auto Aim, at least its not enabled by default.
Didnt look in settings
I dont have any issue and because game is much slower then last 2 Dooms, it shouldnt be a problem.
On the other hand i always use controller, no matter what type of game i play so i guess i am used to controllers.
But if you always play with M+K i dont know why change now.

Please reread what I wrote and be respectful because I will fire with extreme hostility if anyone suggests using M&K again with RSI; it took me a VERY LONG time to accept this will only get worse despite physio and me being fit since my early 20s until now.

I'm just glad you can rebind keys on the controller. So many games need to have this as a standard. Haven't had any issues with the xbox controller playing this.

Controller is fine, and possible options are ok.

Well..........♥♥♥♥ lol

I want auto aim because I used to have a 2.0+ KD ratio at my peak (Counter-Strike.) Whenever I use the right stick to aim, I feel so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ handicapped lol. It's not like mouse where I will snap to the head, it's like.....having my arm chopped off and I'm using my foot on the mouse in terms of accuracy :')
