Since when do we get to Kick? or Takedown? Or Riposte? Reading the control layouts more it does not even look like the same game.

Yea, I'm using Pinnacle software to map my xbox 360 controller. I'm using Pinnacles profiles and just swapped a few things. A joy to play.

Now reading that website closer, it does seems like a completely different game.

The following controls are for Dark Souls II on PS3 and are not relevant for the Elder Scrolls Online.

Ah...I scrolled directly down to the X1 section.

So why don't we know the official controller layout yet? Its already determined.

They had a video of gameplay footage on the PS4 on a recent ESO Live showing off the Justice System. At one point the footage went into the UI and you could see some of the button layout for skill usage. I remember ultimate was L1 and R1 together but can't remember the rest. I assume Xbox will be the same configuration with the different letters for the buttons.

@Soriana sent this to me as PM in response to a comment I made on using a controller in a thread. This is how they have their ability buttons laid out. Probably used X-Padder or similar to make this work, as this does not jive with what is on the page you linked for the consoles, but does jive with setting up a 360 controller on the PC on the same page.

Just saw that you asked a question about the controller layout but didn't want to necro an old thread! Your ability buttons are: X=1, A=2, B=3...then pull left trigger and X=4, A=5, B=Ultimate. Once you get the muscle memory down, even while holding the left bumper to block, it's pretty easy to get used to.

Layout is exactly what I have using Xpadder and Xbox360 controller. I've been using this since early release. It mostly works well. Curious to see how ZOS maps things like roll-dodge, horse, and other non-combat functions.

Personally I am waiting for native controller support on pc/mac, read somewhere that they were going to add it after they finalized the layout for console. I hope they really make the controller layout as intuitive for ESO as it is for Skyrim.

I have controller mate for mac on my macbook but for the longest time it kept bugging out and loosing virtual mouse control for my ps3 controller. They recently patched it so hopefully I can remap it and get it working for ESO now that I have resubbed, but any of these type of programs all have bugs so I hate relying on them.

Recently purchased Skyrim for ps3 with all the extra addons and fell in love with the game all over again, (which prompted me to resub on ESO). At one time about a year ago I tried porting a pc version of skyrim to my mac but couldn't get my controller to work, and pretty much lost interest in the game. For me games like this are greatly enhanced by having controller support (even MMO's) from launch.

How did you map them? I put roll dodge on 'left trigger + right bumper' and horse on 'left trigger + D pad right'.

Pinnacle used the Thumb Sticks for rolls. A quick two flicks in any direction initiates the roll. You can can control the delay of that roll in the eso settings.

Not sure if XPadder has that ability.

The console controller mapping has a lot of changes as compared to my Xpadder layout. Anyone else? I would guess that this layout will be the same when controllers come to PC. Any thoughts on changing layouts to match this now and develop muscle memory?

I already changed my Xbox controller based on the ESO video and it matches the picture/news from today. I'm using Pinnacle software though.

I'm still not sold with crouch on the right thumb stick click. I'll change my profile and try it.

Well, @uberkull‌, I currently have crouch on 'left thumb stick click', so that's a small adjustment for me. But 'right thumb stick click' is what I use for Horse. Where did you put Horse in your new layout?

I mapped it like the picture. I have it on the menu button on a hold delay, map for instant press, delay of like 2 seconds for horse. That should mimic the new console controller feel.

@SFBryan18, do you have any plans to update your Xpadder profile to match the console mapping?

I just purchased Pinnacle and remapped the profile.
My Xpadder skills are lacking, but basically everything works just like the picture except for walk/run and sprint (still playing with click = hold shift)
I also edited d-pad down to hold = mwheel down and tap = mwheel up so I get character camera changes, map zoom/zoom out and inventory scrolling

If you purchased and downloaded Pinnacle, grab the EOS profile. Then remap what you want instead of starting from scratch.

The walk/run(sprint) should be already mapped to the click of the left thumb stick on the profile, else it's a command that's already created in the profile. No need to use shift since the thumb stick support holding it down and moving in a direction by default of the controllers behavior.

I use the double command to get the two functions on one button to work. You can set the delay between the first press of the button and the hold of the button. For example to make A work, Jump command is on first press, and Interact(e) is on the hold down delay. I'm starting the think I almost don't need a delay, because E doesn't do anything in the ESO world where you would be able to Jump, it's one or the other. interact or E is only in looting, npc interaction, and menus.

Edit: Oh, and keep in mind. Many of the profiles have buttons mapped as 'button down' and 'button up'. You don't want this for actions like Jump, potion, Use, Quick slots...etc because you want those to execute ASAP so use PRESS. Now attack and block you do want down and up separate because there is a action in game for holding down attack(heavy) and block(holding block up).

Very cool write up on XPadder. My pinnacle profile is so tight now, I think i won't notice a difference when X1 hits. Haha.

Ill see if I can post it on the actual Pinnacle site.

FYI - Pinnacle is on sale right now. I love the software cause its easy and powerful. At xmas it was 4.99. its 9 99 right now.

To add to the controller mapping, has anyone tried or have a working solution for the ChatPad device?

This is how far I got and it's not stable.

This is my current experiment. You'd think that MS would have provided a PC driver for this chatpad, but no. They provide just the controller driver.
ChatPad- http://www.amazon.com/Chatpad-Keyboard-Xbox-360-Controller-Input/dp/B005A2XO74
Fan made driver - https://code.google.com/p/chatpad-super-driver/

But unfortunately that driver isn't stable and hardly works. It's a old project, and there are a few people that have picked it up but none I've seen work.

Not sure how the type chat is gong to work on console. SmartGlass isn't instant, you don't have the keyboard available until you select a text field with the controller. And a separate keyboard plugged into the USB port, but that's a disconnected experience.

There are third party xbox one chatpads....maybe that's the answer for console release.
