So...just got a solid controller (Ascent game is twin stick...didn't think it would be good with kb/mouse)...and as I tried it out with Elden Ring...I wondered...any KB/mousers also try ESO with controller? Seems limiting but I dunno...what has your experience been?

    I have Arthritis in my hands, I can't KB/M a ton anymore. So Controller is fine, it's definitely slower, but it does the thing.

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    a controller is not something I would use for majority of my ESO playtime, as I find kb/m much more comfortable to use - but the controller comes in great when I want to get slow moving tracking shots for making videos. Seems controller is a perfectly viable choice.

    Plenty of people move from console to PC and continue using a controller in end game content. I find the manoeuvrability much better.

    The UI for controller is atrocious.

    I really need a questing friend. Playing solo is lonely and boring (i am in multiple guilds too)

    I use a controller and pvp exclusively to a high standard. The limitation is rotation speed but you can bypass that with a configuration change and I would suggest doing so. There are some aspects like not being able to roll left by double pushing a for example but with practise you can get fast with it on controller.

    With skills having skill per second and a light attack between there isn't much room for keyboard and mouse to outperform in my opinion.
