It's all about the Steam controller: that thing is just about as customizable as you can possibly get without breaking the server rules.

The only downside is that (at least on Linux) you have to start Steam before you start EQ. Probably why I never use mine :(

I have messed around with my steam controller and EQ, there is certainly potential there.

you're right, the only thing that sucks about this joy2key controller setup is the analog stick is analog (or is it not analog? Binary, its like go as fast as the mouse speed is immediately, no ramp or down, whatever that is) so the touch pad control that thing I bet is way better, I was meaning to try, I bought a 1 handed controller that looks like a space blaster that I was excited about but it was a piece and after that I moved on to other things.

But I am not sure about this steam/eq thing you speak of? Can you just not use the steam controller as a gamepad for any game?

Mech Warrior had a large joystick that I think I'd like to try. Being old the mouse and track ball make my arthritis fuss.

Ive also played alot using a controller on my rogue. Works very well! Sounds like my setup too the way Jibartik explained. I believe my program was called Keysticks.

Havent really tried with any other class than rogue, but can vouch for it working like a charm on the rogue, any kind of setting. Switchinh to æ keyboard to type can be a hassle if ure very laid back comatose style

I think any pure melee class can get away with puging with a controller and not having any problems, but once you get into the spell casting area and macros, it gets a little funky...

Now that I think about it, I think Ill try to setup my 1handed controller to try barding with, why not. It'd probably be easier to keep one hand on the controller and press buttons than try to feel around on the flat keyboard with my fat fingers while my dry ass eyes stare at the corner of my screen unblinking.

But I dont know why I'm telling you all any of that... Its not like Im going to make a video :o sorry.

You can use it for any game, but again I think you have to remember to start Steam first, which was always the annoying part for me.

And yes, it will definitely work better with melees than casters, but even casters can work, and that's a big part of why I like it over other controllers I've used. You've got four front buttons plus four left nav directions plus four "behind" buttons (there's also buttons on the bottom but they just trigger other buttons on top). Oh, and there's start/select and of course the joystick and right mouse.

If you throw SHIFT/ALT/CTRL onto a few of those buttons and then map most of the others to numbers, you wind up being able to trigger a whole bunch of stuff.
