How do you set up your controller?

[Xidus]

I have been using gamepad mapping software to assign additional functions to the unused buttons. I'm using xbox360 controller and have left everything at defaults except X button is now roll (was revert). Revert is now on the D-pad.



L trigger - middle mouse
R trigger - turbo fire
D-pad - # keys
thumbstick buttons - more # keys
Y - shift key + cook (default)

shift state:
L&R trigger - more # keys
D-pad - even more # keys
L-stick button - screenshot (ctrl+alt+p)

I also added rumble to some of the buttons (roll, turbo fire, and R-shoulder). Y is shiftstate since cook does nothing when swimming around, hold it to change the functions of other buttons. So some things I can do with this setup is rarely touch the singing menu since every # shortcut is mapped. I can look ahead with L-trigger + thumbstick. I can hold roll + turbo fire and swim through schools of fish sucking up items with little effort.

I still have to touch the mouse sometimes, but not during the action. I need it to pan and zoom the map. and the item menu is just faster with the mouse. Also I for the life of me can't figure out how to equip armors with the gamepad. I just can't get over to that use button.

I use a mouse and the keyboard

Why a  ? I actually like the mouse and keyboard better than a gamepad (Especially using the ctrl key to fire) It just seems so much smoother and intuitive.

BTW, downloaded Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Portal: First Slice, Half-life 2 Deathmatch, Trial Peggle Extreme for free. Half-life is the best fps I've ever played, and (in my opinion) so much easier to play with mouse and keyboard. Here's the (legitimate) link if you're interested, but you have to have an Nvidia or ATI gaming card: Nvidia Offer or AMD Offer HL2DM is one of the funnest games I've played (just brain someone with a toilet and you'll get what I mean) 

Hmm, now that I think of it, it might be better to make a new topic. Oh well.
