Conrtoller support?

[Papa Sponge]

And if not, are there plans to add it.

[Veeshan]

As with many of these naturally keyboard and mouse games, we controller users are out in the cold until full release.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I do recall Joppa saying controller support would be great and it's something they would support later.

Support here meaning allowing controller mapping to happen. But I think for now we're stuck with third party hack-ins. Which frankly can be perfectly fine sometimes. I've only really had trouble with those on first person shooters.

Hope they provide support for my yoke.

I will only play these games with a controller. there are people like me an worse that have trouble navigating a keyboard for a multitude of reasons. My reason is quite a simple one. i have looked at the keyboard all my life to type an thus its how my brain has been hardwired. i am not going to practice for days on end just to play a mmorpg.

i will also never understand why anyone would want to play even a flight simulator like MSFS with a controller. How can that replace the minimal complexity of a keyboard, mouse and decent joystick used to fly a PDMG Boeing 737!!!

Unless they play on super-easy mode all the time?

How do you handle when different games assign different functions to different keys on your controller?

Would not the skills to adapt also apply to keyboard/mouse?

Well, yes, but it's not optimal for me to have to look at my keyboard to click my spells. I also do not have a mouse that is meant for mmorpgs. This would be the optimal solution to my problem, but it's just not possible for now. Sure, they can change things on the controller to make us adapt, but we are taking into consideration people that actually can't use a keyboard and mouse to play games for more serious reasons. Yes, I know many games are not meant for controllers, like wow until recently. That game was NEVER meant to be played with a controller, but they hid support in that game and gave it a wacky control scheme that sorta worked.

Actually, it's highly likely you will. After a bajillion clicks of the mouse your right pointer finger tends to get a little sensitive. Most of us reach that point eventually.

And one needs a fair amount of finger dexterity to use a game-pad type controller. I find the mouse clicking easier then having to repeatedly move my thumb and finger all the time.

But whatever works :)

A controller let's me play games on the couch with my dog in my lap. :D

At the end of the day, I'd rather spend time with my dog than play on my Main Rig.

Different folks, different strokes.

Maybe if this game gets deck compatibility i can play it from a more comfortable chair lol

[Mindzen]

I played it on a Rog Ally and had to assign a bunch of stuff within the native Armor Crate app. Its completely doable but not as effecient, also chat is a nightmare.

You can download Joy2keys and assign keyboards to your controller but honestly, it is much better on a keyboard.

Not everything has to be catered to everyone. They should only make it mouse and keyboard and make sure everything works.

your right it doesnt have to be catered to everyone an if it happens to get controller then it should be done after everything has been flushed out with this game. im in no way demanding for this support

I cannot even play with my dog at the same time and focus on the game with aggro mobs around every corner.

Amazing!!
