Gamepad for XIV

Post by MikaMeow »

Does this look like a gamepad that'd work fine with XIV? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.618

As long as windows picks it up as a gamepad it should work fine.

I tried running my 360 controller in Windows, but I ran into a driver issue and I haven't bothered to figure out where the problem is. After playing XI on the computer and on the X-Box, I like the keyboard way more.

Didn't have one problem. Went into Gamepad setup and re-macroed all the controller ports.

For the beta I used a PS2 controller hooked up through an adapter and that was fine. I normally use a 360 controller for XI, but the XIV beta wouldn't detect it, maybe because of my 3rd party drivers (not XBCD, some Japanese ones because XBCD wouldn't give force feedback on XI). I'm not sure if retail will fix that.

Here's the page for the JP drivers, for both wired and wireless http://www.katch.ne.jp/~morii/index.html

Again, i can't get my 360 controller to register on XIV using these, but they're great otherwise.

EDIT: No dice on those drivers. XBCD ones work though.

I'm using a PS3 controller, via MotionInJoy drivers. Works excellent for me :)

All except Sixaxis, which is just annoying in FFXIV. :)

I'm going to try my trusty Logitech rumblepad 2. I'll let you know how it works then. :)

I just configured my keyboard to make the game playable for me.
For some reason, if it's not a game console connected to my PC I don't like gamepads.
The only thing I will need to do later when I really get used to the game and have some "main jobs" is bind macros on my G keys.
