Switch Pro Controller Help

[Eric4bz]

So I've just picked up the game and after messing around with KBM controls (with the manual rather than an in depth tutorial) I've come to the conclusion that a controller would be much better.

Only problem is that I only have a nintendo switch pro controller available. I've been messing with the configs but would appreciate some help. Anyone know a good layout? I've tried using mouse region on the right stick but that just sends me spinning in Starfox style barrel rolls if I let go of the stick.

If anyone has experience using a nintendo switch pro controller for this, I'd really appreciate it.

You already have steam, so go to big picture mode and enable your controller.

Don't use mouse regions; i use left stick for wasd; right stick for pitch/yaw; soft trigger is roll, hard trigger is fire, double trigger is autofire(this way i can roll while firing).

I use an xbox360 controller and i'm having good results bc i set it up with a tonne more keybinds via the big picture interface.

Also, be mindful that you can enable/disable "yaw into roll" in the game control configuration.

if you really want to use a Controller please get something better like a T16000M FCS or the very cheap HOTAS X, 4, or ONE. your switch controller will be lacking so many buttons you will need a ton of keyboard shortcuts.

You can have up to four keybinds on one key when using the steam overlay, so it's not really an issue. I started out using a highly programmable joystick and using a controller does everything just fine due to the extra programmability; no need to shell out for equipment you don't want.

Besides, i like playing ED while lounging on me couch. ;)
