This is what I've been waiting for over anything since console release, now I really hope we can make our own controller templates. I've been using an xpadder configuration since beta, and I'll be really happy to not have to mess with any third party issues while playing from my bed.
Thanks a lot ZOS, I'm sure this task was not easy to accomplish, I'm sure I'm not the only person extremely excited for this change.

I can't play without a controller. I honestly can't wait to get a PC set up solely to change from console. 2 -

No, it is part of the BASE patch, so you should have access to gamepad support without getting Orsinium.0 -

??????What! My wireless Xbox controller works fine with Win10. Better look elsewhere for the problem.
Controller patch timed well with release of Steam controller. Hoping some of you controller fiends will be early adapters and let us know how it works with ESO.

I'm not sure what you've tried but compatibility settings always seemed to do the trick for me as far as that matter is concerned. I've moved onto using DS4 in combination with Xpadder, so I'm excited I'll be able to use all in-game commands, while still having the functionality of the track pad.Hand of Sithis - Daggerfall Covenant0 -
istateres✭✭✭✭Will this be testable on the PTS?? In other words, can we use game controllers on the PTS when the update drops next week?0 -

You might want to check your system then, cos there's something wrong, Windows 10 finally has FULL support for Xbox controllers having its own drivers and software built in. If yours isn't working then you have something installed or configured wrong.0 -

You'll need to use a tool that makes your DS4 use Xinput. I'd recommend DS4 windows, it'll load up with ease and you'll still be able to assign your trackpad to whatever button presses you want.Hand of Sithis - Daggerfall Covenant1 -

I completely agree there, but I must say when I do play on my PS4 even a more expanse list of quick tell chat options would be a world of help. I am a solo player mostly, so I'm sure those of you that want to group up and talk aren't having the best time.Hand of Sithis - Daggerfall Covenant0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm going to test this out on PTS when the server opens but for those who are interpreting that the console UI on PC would be absent of text chat because console doesn't have it....Ill post back but because it's the only native way to communicate on PC I'm pretty certain a text box is on PC-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

kayPOW✭✭✭I agree with what others have said, console users should get text chat now. It would be so simple for Xbox One thanks to Smart Glass!
Happy for all of you PC players though, as someone who did play the Beta on the PC but waited for the console release, I feel your pain with the mouse and keyboard business. It's the main reason I waited for console release!

BrianESO✭✭hmmmm.... Now to decide to go back to the PC version or stick with playing on the Xbox One. I just picked up the Xbox One version about a month ago just so I could sit back with a controller. I'm so glad PC is getting controller support though the game just feels so good with a controller in my opinion.0 -

If they read the patch notes properly it does say quite clearly there that those playing on a gamepad will not lose text chat.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭so just to share...what's going on for PTS on PC.
I wouldn't make any assumptions that this in any way impacts consoles.
Controller Support for PC
You are now able to use a controller that supports XInput, such as an Xbox One controller, while playing the PC version of the game!
To switch to gamepad mode, navigate to the Gameplay menu in Settings and plug in your controller.
Existing add-ons will continue to work.
Gamepad mode on PC retains keyboard support for text chat, UI shortcuts and character movement.
The API has been updated to encourage development of gamepad-specific add-ons. We can’t wait to check them out!
Gamepad mode is not supported on the Mac game client even though the option is visible and accessible. You can switch back to the regular form of gameplay by pressing the Escape key, then navigating through the keyboard Settings to turn it off.

✭✭✭✭✭It literally is 100% just like Xbox one.
The only difference is that the text box is still present and pre text emotes on console go into the text chat box
Well...that and there are some customization options for buttons
There are some bugs to work out but in general it works just fineEdited by NewBlacksmurf on October 6, 2015 5:58PM-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Deheart✭✭✭Controller support is what I was waiting for since beta! While still playing beta they promised it before launch, but they used the now dreaded word to say when... SOON!
As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.0 -
The controller support they have on the PTS is still in beta for sure. Couldn't find a way to resign buttons or even clearly see what buttons do what. No mount button or way to access the main menu from the controller. Also you get stuck in the crown store and have to resort to the keyboard to get out. I know it's still a beta feature but I'm not sure I understand why they are not simply porting over that the consoles have with just a few tweets for the PC?0 -

-find what they do....go to settings (same place as console) there is an actual in-game photo
-reassign buttons (while in non-game pad mode, assign under third)
-It's been on consoles and was ported over long ago (not sure what you mean as we were told this in the past)
Just play around more but to those on consoles who really want text chat and who have a PC or will buy one....you will be pleasantly pleased-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

So this means we can swap stealth and weapon swap??!?! Hands down the best improvement to this game to date in my opinion.
People will complain and say it took too long and that it isn't what they expected but projects like this aren't a piece of cake. It without a doubt costs resources and plenty of time to implement this and ZOS, despite how long this was in the making, just greatly increased the joy of the game for many people.
