    I am hoping to hear something soon, as well. My thoughts were on the new Steam Controller, and maybe Steam Link. Want to be able to play ESO on couch @60fps without moving the PC to living room.

    The struggle is real. I'm glad that they plan to have it be seamless like it is in Witcher 3. It's nice to be able to grab the mouse for things like crafting or moving things from bags to bank etc...

    I have been using my xbox controller for two years now (along with a razor mouse)......I hope they don't offer full controller support (ie.......plug and play).......I'll stop playing if they disable my mouse with my controller plugged in.

    It will be a optional feature so no worries there.

    I don't think it's a major issue because you can already dl software and/or addons that allow you to use a controller. I've been using a controller successfully for over a year. And just like @flintstone suggested, I'd prefer them to not add it...because I like configuring it how I want with my controller, keyboard and mouse. I don't want to be forced into using 2 or 3 three premade loadouts that are not how I set-up, like the consoles. I played on PS3 for about 20 minutes before I got fed up with the controls and came back. Hopefully they can find a way to cater to both demographics.

    These programs work good but not great and eventually become an annoyance since they need pretty regular tweaking and patches tend to change or break functionality. My wife and I both maxed out 2 characters before we got tired of playing with a third party program.There is just no replacement for native controller support.

    And I know some might say "why not just switch to console." Well we wanted the best graphics paired with the most laid back experience. I would say that was a silly request of not for so many other cross platform games like Dragon Age, Skyrim, Witcher 3, already having the support on PC in with out an after thought. ESO is playing catch up at this point. It's just time already.

    I'm waiting too.

    I was hoping that the newest content patch would provide it. Alas from what I heard there isn't controller support. I haven't bothered to login and see for myself that it's not there.

    Remember, don't expect them to continue working on it until after ic is released for consoles, hopefully consoles will experience better than pc
    Please vote in the console text chat thread so ZoS can see how many people want text chat

    ...and dueling in the dueling thread but personally I want text chat first...

    I would hope that they'd make it to where you can have both at the same time, not one or the other. *fingers crossed*

    This is how I play GTA Online. Controller for messing around, but when *** gets serious, hand on the mouse for those glorious Headshots.

    That's the plan. Seamless transition like how Witcher 3 does it.

    Every day I log in and play with my XBOX One controller configured exactly how I like it with Pinnacle, and enjoy smooth play.

    HMM, I WONDER WHO?

    It might be the kind of idiot who:
    1. Wants the best of all worlds combined
    2. Has a large 50 inch HDTV
    3. Has a powerful PC
    4. Has that powerful PC plugged into that HDTV, in their living room
    5. Plays games on that huge 50 inch TV as opposed to the average PC gamer playing on his super-immersive 24 inch monitor and bragging about it
    6. Uses that combination to watch movies, television
    7. Also plugs all of his consoles into that TV
    8. Uses that combination to play games in REAL HD, 1080p, with maxed out graphics, at 60 FPS (instead of a console playing bad graphics, upscaled from 576p, at 30 FPS)
    9. Likes the controller to sit back on his nice couch he bought, and likes the ergonomics and comfort
    10. Has typed enough at work all day, and doesn't want to put more strain on his wrists or use a typing device to play games
    11. Likes to configure how his games control himself, and determine which button presses activate what
    12. Doesn't assume that HDTV or controller are only for console
    13. Doesn't assume things he doesn't know about
    14. Uses 1 brilliant combination for all his entertainment in one unit, and actually saved money while having the best possible experience for all kinds of entertainment

    WHO IS THE IDIOT NOW?

    You've only to try it once, @notimetocare , and see the glory of a giant, maximized graphics at real 1080p which combines the best of all possible worlds in gaming.

    That's me. My work days is excel spreadsheets, non-stop data entry and replies to emails. I just want to relax with a controller when I get home. I might try and get pinnacle working again but can't wait for native.

    My wife and I are back in with pinnacle and the controller support UI mod. If anyone wants to check it out just search "controller support" on esoui.com. Best way of playing with a controller on the PC we have used so far and I recommended to anyone that is waiting for native support.

    After last patch my Controller support started bugging out. Arrows + option key UI is centered on the screen and cant be moved, i did update the lib, didnt change anything :/
    Did you do anything special?

    I did a full reinstall of the mod making sure to delete all the old files. Also make sure to set your key bindings up like it says in the read me file.

    The have been controller options in the configuration file for months and, bizarrely, one of the tips that I get given whilst loading suggests pressing that large green X key on the Xbox controller to bring up something or other, but actual controller support seems a long time coming!
