Highly recommended to keep the path and name simple, or even include a keybind for quick-loading it, so you can edit/load/test/repeat easily. You can cut and paste this into a file, then load it for each alt using /bindloadfile. Here is a basic DS4 controller bind file set, which should map well to an XBox 360 controller as well:

I will keep this part simple if you don't know how to manage load/save bindfiles and such, I point you to the Guide and move on. Otherwise the controller may not be recognized.īut then, go back on out and do your controller mapping this way. However, you WILL need to go into Options and select/enable the correct controller type. But this is slow, will overwrite other choices you might have made for secondary control keys, and doesn't let you use multiple commands like a bind or macro. Easy-peasy and it even uses sensible names for the button names. If you are relentlessly against hard and confusing things like editing bind files (that's a joke, kids), you CAN go to Options and set each button in the Secondary mapping column - just click the related setting and press the controller button. Here's the visual map of DS4 keys to keymap commands: I am ASS/U/MING you've saved your tweaked keyboard mapping and are ready to mess with the overall keybind and tray setups. Details in the Guide, or ask for basic help on this. Create one set of files for keyboard play, and a new set for controller play (and use a basic set of binds to load/save them easily, so you can switch and experiment).

Unless you are a major controller maven and will never go back to WASD+Mouse, I recommend that you use save/load keybind and option file features. Further warning, this is VERY MUCH a "tinker until it works for you" kind of setup, so be prepared to fiddle around a lot until you have a setup you like. Everyone else will have to figure it out themselves, although the base mapping in the game is to an emulated XBox-360 controller, so much of this can be translated easily to those with those controllers.
#Ds4windows how to use driver
This guide is for folks using (1) a DS4 controller with (2) a driver like DS4Windows. (There were controller keymap commands, but they were erratic and did not address dual-stick controllers like the DS4 well.) The recent patch FINALLY made it possible to use a controller fairly well with CoX.
