Gamepad users (controller on PC)…need a recommendation

CaffeinatedMayhem

Hey gamepad ui users… or controller on PC players, have you found a way to use the keyboard ui by installing a translator program to map buttons to keys?

I love the design of gamepad ui, but the lag and weird bugs (lately all synergies are hidden by purify) are just too much for vet trials tanking. I have really bad carpal plus a connective tissue disease in my hands; a controller is the only way I can play comfortably.

TLDR; looking for a way to have ESO in keyboard ui, but still be able to use a controller.

I use a controller (Dualshock 4 and Xbox Elite Series 2) on PC. I have Steam launch the game, I don't use the Steam game version but have Steam launch the standalone game, because then I can have Steam handle the controller part with their controller profiles. You can assign pretty much anything to the buttons with Steam controller profiles.

I haven't had any issues with lag or bugs and allows me to play for long periods of time without discomfort because I use a keyboard all day for work.

Here are examples of keyboards and mouse my wife has used and she has really bad carpal tunnel and other hands issues. She can work for 8-10 using these without too much issues. I highly recommend them if you want to use a keyboard.

Keyboard

Mouse

If you prefer having a controller I find PS5 controller comfort far outweighs PS4 controller. Another options is XBox One Elite controller.

How would you map the L-stick movement to keyboard or mouse?

Thanks! I’ve tried installing an app years ago for translating Dual Shock to Xbox through the OS and it didn’t go well. I’ll try this steam thing.

Thanks but it’s the motion of the mouse for camera that gets me, plus that hand position. I’m using a Elite Series 2 right now, but Win 11 arguably made response times worse. I’ve tried trackball mice but it was too much of a struggle to use.

Go back to Windows 10. I wait about a year now to upgrade my window PCs because most of the bugs take about a year to work out.

Have you tried a vertical mouse? Takes some getting used to but I know a bunch of folks that love them.



and if you are going with an ergonomic keyboard, the Xbow is really nice...
