I've had great success with the Steam controller, even on Linux. I do have to start Steam first, before I run EQ, if I want to be able to use the controller, but on Windows that might not even be required.
It's a great controller, and it's 100% customizable: I can map any button to any key I want. It also has both a joystick and two directional pads, which is great because you can use one DPad for strafe movement, one for turning, and then use the joystick as a ghetto mouse controller. And if you bind SHIFT and ALT you can trigger a fairly impressive amount of actions from it ... although I still always wished I had another button or two, even though it has so many.
But honestly, even though I have some serious RSI issues in real life, and even though I got it all working years ago ... I never use it. Between the having to remember to start Steam part, and just the huge convenience of a keyboard and mouse, I just don't bother. Still, this thread has me wanting to pull it out and try using it again ...
