I ended up going with xpadder as it seemd to be the best for my needs. MotionJoy (PS3 Controllers only - with the use of Joy2Key)- Free.There are three programs out there that I researched: Next you’ll need a program that will allow you to map keys to the buttons on the gamepad as SW:TOR does not support the use of gamepads. I am using a power Xbox 360 controller although any gamepad will work. Read on for the awesomeness that I’ve discovered.įirst thing, you need a controller / gamepad that works with windows. What people are using, how well does it work, and how easy is it to learn? These are the questions for which I wanted answers. I didn’t like that at all and that is why I went searching for a solution which lead me to the discovery that using a controller is definitely possible.Īfter multiple bouts with carpal tunnel, getting pwned by noobs, and complete frustatrion in general I began my search for alternatives. Enter Star Wars with about 50 or so necessary key combinations and I am mouse clicking like mad. I really didn't need anything more than the keyboard keys W,A,S, and D with the mouse for those games. Up until recently my gaming background has been mostly FPS (first person shooter). To say the least I was struggling until I stumbled upon a post on the SW:TOR forums that talked about using a controller / gamepad with an MMO. When Star Wars: The Old Republic (SW:TOR) showed up on the horizon I jumped in line and registered for the beta, got my code and began my journey through the SW:TOR Universe. I've played video games on all types of consoles and PC's for most of my life, but I was at a complete loss when it came to the massive amount of key combinations needed to be successful in the MMO world.
Noob isn't even a word that would describe the knowledge I have as an MMO player. But what about us console gamers with no experience in PC MMO's? Avert your eyes PC gamers, here is a tutorial for playing SWTOR with a game pad. Many veteran MMO players hang their heads in shame when someone mentions using a game pad with MMOs.
