A Guide to Using a Gamepad w/ DDO

[Komitulek]

I have an old, but nice, Saitek Cyborg Rumble. If their current product(s) are as good as this baby, I have no problem recommending them. The cord is immaculate and shows no damage after years of use, it is comfortable and easy to use, and it still performs as good as when it was new, if not better as it is 'broken in' now.

bumping a thread because I think it is still useful and relevant, and I see links to it.

Anyone try attaching the Chatpad (http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox...ox+360+chatpad) to the xbox360? I've been playing with an xbox 360 controller for a while now, but this seems terribly useful, but there does seem to be some weirdness with regard to drivers.

I just found this thread thought id revive it. I just got a ps4 controller hooked up and I've been having problems with the kidnapping and emulation, I think ill have to map it entirely through ps4windows to the keyboard and then map the keyboard in ddo. But the trackpad on the ps4 controller works as a mouse so that could make things nice. If i get it running well ill post again

rise... rise...RISE GAMEPAD THREAD AND DO MY BIDDING!

Ok, I've been using an XBox 360 gamepad since I started DDO. It works great for most time sensitive needs in-game (Chat panel excluded).

I have my setup mapped to select party members and heal/buff. Here's my question, Is there a way to keymap a "unselect" button? A right mouse button click in an open (unselectable) area will do this but mapping a gamepad button to act as the right mouse button does not seem to be an option or work correctly. I'd love to be able to not blindly fumble for the mouse while in quest to do this. I know there is an option to "select nearest combat target" (or however it's listed) and that could be a band-aid... but I'd like to let auto-targeting do it's job (so I can self heal/buff without selecting myself to do so). Thanks for any help you can provide.
