Gamepad descimination

gamepad, yay!
right handed only control stick scheme. ***.
great, well so much for that being playable.
either use keyboard and kill my wrist or use a gamepad that's backwards.

"that's backwards"
Well seeing that the majority of gamepads have their face buttons on the right, and that you have to go out you way to specifically buy a left handed gamepad, I would say it is you that is backwards, not the gamepad.
Though, custom binding controls on gamepads should be a norm by now. On PC you can keybind any pad with an xpadder software.

Is there not options to change the layout for the gamepad/controller? I use the default setting so can't rememeber if we can or not.

My guild has affirmative action recruitment policies for gamepad-Americans. They may be disadvantaged on PC NA due to their handicap, but we love them and appreciate the diversity of opinion they bring.

Gamepad was never playable.

Maybe back in the days of Atari 2600

You can contact Steam and see if they can add Inverted controls for Left handed in their next beta update. Current Beta update is testing out the Nintendo Switch Pro controller over Steam.

Steam has full control remapping and profile support, so you should be able to configure things however you like. Ditto DS4Windows for the Dualshock 4 and x360ce for 360 pads. Not sure about the xb1 controllers, but I'm sure something is available for them. I haven't tried remapping the sticks in eso specifically, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

If you're using a gamepad on PC, instead of the horrible controller UI option, try a 3rd party keymapping program. I use JoyToKey. It's free and fairly easy to use. You just map any keyboard or mouse function to any controller button or stick. You should be able to map movement to the right stick if that's what you prefer.

Why we don't have the very simple option to just map controller buttons in the standard game UI keybind settings is beyond my understanding.

There are left handed gamepads. Google them.

Yeah but if your gonna bother making a gamepad scheme, it wouldn't kill you to give a southpaw option.

It's still progress ESO has a controller optional at all, but still.

I'VE useD an Xbox 360 Wireless controller along with third party custom keybinding software and ZOS controller support turned OFF since release...

Both consoles have a way of remapping a controller from the dashboard itself. There is no in-game support on console (yet) for alternate controller schemes.

This reminds me of the colourblindness thread that existed a while back. Yeah, it's something basic that's been overlooked by ZOS and should certainly be implemented, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it discrimination.

@artlessknave When you say things like that over something so little and unintentional you only do yourself less favours and make yourself look like a jack****. No one likes folk who play the victim card to try and get things to go their way.

Just ask ZOS respectfully and see if it's a feature they can add or are already working on. Throwing a mini tantrum and calling "discrimination" isn't going to do anything.
