Can you use a controller for skyrim on the PC

[Wolf1]

I would like to get skyrim now that its on sale. However, I would like to use a controller, should it work?

[Tim Timsen]

Yes.

[catoozyo]

yes controllers work perfectly, although if you get a logitech controller you may have to flip the switch in the back :P

[Wolf1]

Thank you.

It works flawlessly with my Xbox 360 controller, plug it in, launch the game, and it mimics the 360's controls perfectly.

Although why anyone would want to use a controller is beyond me. :D

For me, it depends on the experience I want. Kick back on the couch with a wireless 360 controller and Steam Big Picture on a big TV? Sure... you definitely don't have the Mouse + Keyboard precision, but in a single player game I'm okay with that.

Yes you can. I'm new to controller play but I find it much nicer than regular PC input devices. Goes great with the Comfy Chair.

You can use a PS3 controller, but you have to use motioninjoy program to emulate a xbox controller. I use it and it works great.

You can purchase a xbox 360 controller for windows. It comes with a USB adapter.

+1 for xbox wireless controller. Works perfectly for me. Haven't used k/b for a while now that I can sit back on my comfy chair.
