Any Ideas For Best Position Of 'Jump' On Controller????
I play lots of fps and at moment I have jump assigned to 'A' button on cont. My problem is when I'm moving quickly and want to jump I must take my right thumb off track pad to press' A' leaving me somewhat vulnerable . My set up is standard. I use triggers for aiming/shooting . bumpers for grenades. underside triggers for crouch/ reload and right touchpad click to Melee. Anyone got any ideas on where to program Jump so that I keep moving with left stck and touhpad? Loving controller btw . Didn't in beginning but now that Im getting used to it I LOVE it!!!:steamhappy:

That's the beauty of the SC, you can pick what feels best for you. I myself use the right back button for jump.

I use the right grip, too.

Right grip too, i use B button for reload, because i don't need aim when reloading

I use the Right touchpad click for all my jumping.

Double TAP for right touchpad ( mouse > advance settings > "space" )

I tried a config with Melee and Jump on gyro. A little nudge downwards would activate Melee, and a little nudge upwards would make me Jump. Pretty fun use of gyro if I say so myself :)

...just tested and it was superb. SC is getting better and better every day.
It has at least 360 tricks in its sleeves :)

In the configs I've uploaded I think I usually have Jump on left grip and crouch on right grip... or maybe it's the other way around. It feels intuitive (for me) to have "up" and "down" both on the same set of buttons.

I'm used to jump being assigned to Y (Y being 'up' on the button pad). On the SC I also have the right grip assigned to Y. On a keyboard I absolutely detest jump being assigned to the spacebar (that's s'posed to be activate/use, durnit...I switch jump to E

Insanity! How do you jump while strafing right?

F to use for life!

I grew up ith Q/E being lean, and F/G being activate, Space to jump. Standard setup for games like Theif and SS.

in my default KBM config my buttosn are X=reload (R); Y=game dependent - typically basic items like flashlight, etc (T); B=use (F); A=jump (space), with bumpers being QE, grips being LCTRL (left) and modeshift for left pad (right).

left pad gets customised by game, often a touch menu.

All carry-overs from the xinmap/xpadder apps.

Right Grip is the most common for me as well.
Sometimes I set it to R-Trigger Full Pull Action with Agro Hip Fire or Normal HF if it doesn't work for me in specific. FYI, I'm using L-Trigger to fire. Also it's good to have haptics on to have a feeling where Soft Pull Action begins when using dual triggering.

For me it's Left Grip to jump.

I actually wished they had put two additional buttons on the rear of the controller. I would've much prefered this this to the dual-stage triggers.
