A warning to non Steam ESO owners: Keep steam shut down while playing with a controller.
This is not an ESO issue, which is why I'm posting here as opposed to the bug forum.
If you did not buy ESO from Steam, and you use a controller, shut Steam down completely before playing ESO. If you do not, there is an issue where every button you push on your controller will activate a secondary keyboard key. This often causes issues such as accidentally attacking NPS's, or the inability to open the menus, and many others.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure this out; 4+ days before it occurred to me that Steam may be the issue. I don't know if this problem is well known, or obscure, but I didn't see anything on it, so I decided to post this.

✭✭✭✭✭Luckily i'm on PC so i use an actual keyboard and mouse..
There's a good number of people who use controllers on PC. Steam controller, XBox controller, PS4 controller.... especially those folks who connect their PCs to their big TVs and play games from the couch.
(heck, I've even heard of people who use controllers for first-person shooters, on PC. Strange as that seems.)
edit: I've used a controller with my PC, but only for games that are designed to be better that way - generally ports of console things. Like Bastion, or JRPGs.Edited by Kiralyn2000 on April 30, 2018 2:01PM1 -

I do have controller companion, however I always shut it down before playing ESO, CC was not the cause of this issue. Only closing Steam seemed to fix it for me.0 -

This sort of attitude stinks tbh, one person in this thread has already said that they use a controller as keyboard and mouse = pain for them, I also use a controller due to arthritis in my hands and can't do keyboard and mouse for long without it becoming painful.
The issue with Steam and controllers arises because Steam assumes it's being used all the time, (even if a totally unrelated full screen application is being used) and will hijack the commands.
If your ESO ain't Steamed, then close Steam.2
