BRINK Xbox 360 Controller Support

This guide will show you how to enable Xbox 360 controller support for your in game enjoyness!

Introduction

Some of you may be like me and want to sit back and relax sometimes when you play your games. This configuration is going to allow you to enjoy your BRINK experience while using your Xbox 360 controller. Plus with Steam's Big Picture mode playing BRINK on your TV is going to be that much more enjoyable! I complied some of the information from DeanoC's guide posted a couple years ago along with some extras to make this information available on Steam Guides.

Some notes:

This will not implement aim assistance so there ya go.

The on screen reminders will still use the Mouse and Keyboard bindings.

The Mouse & Keyboard will still be functional still.

Some of the menus will not be navigatable via the controller.

Step 1

Open up Notepad and paste the following:

bind "JOY1_1"	"_moveup"					// A
bind "JOY1_2"	"_movedown"					// B

File and Save As... unsupported360pad.cfg

To save some time save in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\brink

(Or wherever your BRINK folder is located)

Step 2

Right click on BRINK in your Steam Library

Go to Properties

Set launch options...

And type: +set g_EnablePCControllerInput 1

Step 3

Launch BRINK

Open the console by pressing the Tilde key.

Type: exec unsupported360pad.cfg

You may need to restart BRINK in some instances for it to work after all of that you should be good to go.

Enjoy!

[Caboose]

sorry to reply on your guide but i need a clarification. i followed step by step but i'm stuck with left analog working correctly, the right stuttering and being slow while all button don't respond. Is there any additionnal step i should follow?

[Quinn]

Follow every bit of the instrutions but when accessing the console press Ctrl+Alt then ` or ~ it work for me. Thank you Laetteralus for making this and bubbath3ninja for the console tip.

[Laetteralus]

Yes as long as you have followed everything in the guide accurately.

[skooshed it]

I have done everything but im not sure about the last part i just run the game as normal and push the tilde key and type unsupported360pad.cfg ??

[Laetteralus]

The tilde key is right next the the "1" key. This should work with the Dualshock 4 as long as you are using DS4Windows.
