    It took a lot of tweaking to make my GameCube controller work with ESO.

    What about it?

    I was playing with controller for around a month because of a wrist injury, or at least I tried to do so. It was a absolute chore. Controllers don't even have half the amount of buttons needed to comfortably play the game. I ended up taking strong painkiller before raids so I could play with mouse and keyboard again.

    I play primarily on Xbox and learned how to play on there. My muscle memory for my rotations is all tied up in the controller. The keyboard/mouse thing just makes my brain hurt and feels super awkward.

    My old Logitech Precision gamepad doesn't even get noticed by ESO, so the game is not worthy being played by it, or any other.

    Don't you have to put down the controller to type something? So you have the keyboard anyway?
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I use a mini keyboard to type things. I basically stop playing the game for a minute to type one small thing. I wish we had a gamepad icon or something. It's genuinely not always possible to respond and sometimes I'm sure people think I'm being rude.

    I have used the controller since they added it, never felt at a disadvantage.

    I play other mmo's with KB&M but if I have the option i always prefer a controller it's just more comfortable and lets me sit back and relax.

    I could see myself resisting the change from controller if I were to switch to PC. It'd probably be frustrating to have to relearn how to play. Should be a one step back and two steps forward kind of thing though...

    And unless you can type really fast with one hand, you have to put down the mouse to type something.

    I learned to play action games on consoles over the years (Atari, Nintendo, Playstation 1-3) and PC was primarily turn based strategy games. Mouse and keyboard feel awkward to me, but I try to go back and get better with it every now and then.

    I admit, I have tiny hands. Regular sized Xbox controllers are too large for long play sessions, so I use a slimmer PS3 controller.

    I really wish Microsoft would release a small sized or even regular sized controller with more buttons... we need more buttons!!!! :#:#:#

    Someone who wasted years playing ESO on console only to realize that performance would never get better on console so they swapped to PC in hopes that the performance would be slightly better so they could actually pvp without terrible lag. But sadly they had been playing ESO with a controller for years and figured it would be too much to re learn the game on a mouse and keyboard so they keep playing on a controller, even though they are at a disadvantage, and still manage to kill 99% of players they come across with a controller.

    If you use a controller to play ESO on PC you are...a person who is playing with a controller. It doesn’t say anything more about a person.

    Maybe it’s a preference, maybe it’s an injury or disability, maybe it’s spacial or hardware limitations, maybe it’s no reason at all. It doesn’t define what kind of player or person you are.

    Technically, you don't put down a mouse because it is already down. If it isn't down, you are using it wrong.

    I assume you are talking about a Steam controller profile since it was a long time after launch that gamepad support was added to PC.

    I have a Steam Controller. It is great when you want have no keyboard and a trackpad instead of a mouse or gamepad.
