How come there is no controller support for PC ?

As a player that's been playing with a controller for 33 years, eventually I'm going to have to play keyboard and mouse.
But until then why doesn't ESO have a support section for controllers.
Also why isn't the interface the same as K/M ?

✭✭✭✭✭Some add-ons do not support gamepad mode, but others do. It depends on the add-on. If you need to enter keyboard mode to use some of yours, the automatic setting to switch between controller and keyboard can come especially in handy.1

WeylandLabs✭✭✭✭✭Where ?
And how do people use there add ons with controller?
I have some addons active but can't use other ones.Edited by WeylandLabs on October 22, 2021 8:26PM0 -

i) press ESC
ii) select "CONTROLS"
iii) scroll down until you see a keybind for the controller (Toggle Gamepad Mode)
iv) bind a key to it (F12 in my case)
v) switch between the keyboard and controller modes by pressing the selected key
edit (after your edit) - addons work the same as with K/M. nothing changes. if your addons aren't working you're probably missing some libraries..Edited by mzprx on October 22, 2021 8:31PM5 -

✭✭Go into the game. You have to use the KBM for the launch and load screens. Once you are in the game with a character, hit ESC. This brings up a menu. Select Settings, then Gameplay. Scroll down the menu on the right until you see a section for Gamepads. Set Gamepad mode to on. Bob's your uncle. It will stay this way across all of your characters until you switch it back.
There's supposed to be a dynamic control system that dynamically swaps between the KBM and gamepad modes, but it doesn't work well for me.Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.0 -

So will I be able to bind 2 keys to one button ?0 -

✭There is support. I use an X-Box controller on PC.
Others have stated the way you will go through the settings to set it up. I believe there is an option for "Automatic" which detects whichever input you are using and changes the UI accordingly. I have this setting on, so it recognizes when I'm using controller or KB/M.
Being able to use a controller nearly single handedly saved this game for me. I cannot function in this game with KB/M0 -
WeylandLabs✭✭✭✭✭Thank you all very much - also didn't know some add-on " not all " can't be used on the gamepad mode. I would have thought all addon can be used, that's my biggest complaint.
But thanks!0 -

✭✭I didn't know about the toggle option, I'll have to look into that. Thanks mzprx for explaining that, have an insightful.
The only add-ons I know of that won't work with the controller are the trade guild ones for shopping (MM and TTC). I suspect that it is an issue with the people writing the mods not specifying how the mod works with the controller, or not including the library, or something like that. I haven't written a mod so I can't say for sure.Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.0 -

I use a Razer Tartarus and gaming mouse with a keyboard, since I couldn't get used to just kb/m (switched from console in May) - but I am thinking maybe I should go back to a controller... except I DON'T want the controller/console style interface.
Is there an addon that will give the PC-style interface when using a controller?Edited by LadyLethalla on October 23, 2021 12:11AMx-TallyCat-x // PC EU DC - For the Covenant! // ESO Platinum trophy - 16th May 2017.

✭I play primarily with a controller but do have some things bound to keys on my keyboard and can use both at the same time with no issues, but I also have the hotkey set to swap between controller and K/M modes if needed.
