So I definitely watched this video for the first time yesterday. Had no idea that SL released controller support. Immediately jumped in the car and bought a wireless adapter. Set it up last night, figured out all the settings with the help of your video and lemme tell ya, this made my day/week/year/life.... Been wishing since I was a teenager that I could play wow with a controller, but as I've gotten older, wore my back out in the military and turning wrenches for a living, I'm not a big fan of sitting at a desk to play video games. This makes gameplay much more comfortable once you understand how to keybind everything. Thank you for the guide, I really appreciate it. Side note: took me a little while to research how to update my drivers and get the wireless controller to work properly, didn't know I was going to run into that, so look that up now if anyone reads this. It's really easy, just takes a minute or two.
I have been using a controller for all my game play for decades. I initially tried WoW 15 years ago but quit because there were no truly usable controller emulators. I came back to WoW because I heard that Blizzard added native controller capability. Unfortunately the current setup is not even close to be user friendly. I tried watching Brian's video(s) as well as others to no avail. Unless I can find something that will provide me with a step by step layout on how to set up my controller (Xbox) I will leave WoW again. As I am now 74 I no longer have the dexterity to play keyboard and mouse. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Not at all. I play FFXIV on controller and I have 56 key bindings set. That's more than the keys in reach of my left hand and 2 modifier keys. I could set up something similar in WoW as well.
Great, but where did you get it and what is the name? Console port? Nothing came up on curse forge or wow interface. Seems you missed the most fundamental part of the guide.
Oh man, my wife has been wanting to play WoW but she hates using a mouse and keyboard for commands. She also loves games with controller layouts like this so I know she will be excited to use it. I just finished installing it and testing it out and I'm really impressed.
Right can somebody help me please🙏 I have the game .. and an xbox one controller which is compatiable with my laptop .... how the hell do i get my controller assigned to this game !? Many thanks😁
Am so thankfull for this guide! I putted down wow for sucha long time and never looked back on it. I have CMT illness and can't game much or to long as in mouse+keybord setup, due to the fact your arms resting on the desk (obviously).
Looking forward to getting them out to you... we've been pushing for partner on twitch, so hope to dive back into wow if we get approved, otherwise if it's another month I'll have to focus in on FFXIV until they accept our application. I think this is the 5th time we've applied.
Thanks for the guide, great starting point :) I've been looking forward to this being put up, I use your 14 controller class guides, can't wait for you to be at a stage you feel comfortable to create them for WoW too. I'm using K+M for WoW but defo gonna try this.
Thanks for this comment, and at the same time, let me know what you think when you try it out. I'll be working on building out the class guides as I finish leveling them and get a good solid feel for the best way to play. :)
Thinking of doing this when Steam Deck has come out, do you think this would work with that? How amazing would it be to be able to play WoW again after so many years, but then handheld. D'you think that'd be possible?
Same here. Been reading about Lutris and WoW seems to work. Don't have linux up to try it though. But I did try consoleport yesterday and once I set up my bindings and played around a bit it is definitely possible to play this way.
how did you get legacy movement like in ff14. I've been messing with the addon for a bit and con only get it to backpedal when move towards the screen.
Thanks for this, just got a handheld pc and was really wanting to play this on it. I just can’t do keyboard and mouse much these days :/ very helpful video.
Thank you for this! I would love a mage specific guide (arcane if there's a big difference) - I think I am most concerned with AOE placement but I'll jump in and start messing around with it.
@@GingerPrimeGaming I'd sure watch an updated one. I'm dabbling on my free to play WoW account to see how the controls compare to FFXIV on controller. So far, it's been very confusing. So I'm rewatching this video again now.
@@GingerPrimeGaming Same here, preventing the wrist pain with a controller! Would you mind sharing your Controller configuration from Console port? Seems there is a save and import option. EDIT: My bad, doesn't seem to be an export option :(
Cause of handpain I've had to quit WoW for years, my twitch community knows this and seeing this now looks very similar to FF14 I might finally be able to bring back WoW to my streams again! Thank you for a very helpful video, this deserved a like and sub. Will be seeing you again for sure
@@GingerPrimeGaming when I first got on the mage a lot of the abilities were already there and instead of moving them I removed them I'm trying to get it back with the basic setup it came with
Really lovely and helpful video, ty for taking the time for it! I managed to set it up, but I have a problem with the jump. It's set up by default to A but it simply doesn't work It acts like an interact button even tho if I check the keybinds it only seems to be bound to jump. I really want to play Wow with the controller as my fingers hurt from using the mouse and keyboard too much Sadly without being able to jump I cannot get my mounts to fly Also when I press A it puts the cursor on and off Some help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance! A new discovery seems to be working but only in combat ...
Is there a video that shows you how to actually install the consoleport and activate the in game newly added controller option to the console port like you mention? that's a cool feature but dont actually show how to do that and I can't figure out on how to do this :(
Guess there's not at this time, I was just thinking the same thing. Would make things so much easier to not have to spend an hour configuring keybinds for this, makes it far less appealing.
As an update to your update, WowUp now supports downloading addons from CurseForge, but you have to opt in to "Wago" which puts ads into the app as you browse.
@@GingerPrimeGaming thanks for the quick reply man. I have a relatively old computer, by any chance is there any system spec check testing that I can do to see if my computer is compatible with wow?
Oh man, I’m not sure on that. I played on my shadow pc which is a gaming pc in the cloud and it ran great, but as far as a benchmark goes I’m not sure. Sorry
I upgraded to a elite series 2. Have you found a way to use the paddle buttons as shift modifiers? Console port only registers controller inputs and not keyboard inputs in the key binding menu. I’m using REWASD to change the native controller bindings to keyboard/mouse buttons on my elite series 2. In conclusion……None of this would be an issue if the paddles had native controller inputs that were recognized by console port. Do you know anything about enabling console port keyboard inputs as well?!?!?!?!!?!?
How does ground targeting abilities work with this setup? Also is there a way to select specific friendly targets without "tab targetting" friendly units? I think tabbing through 10+ players in a raid environment to dispell something time sensitive would be difficult? How does final fantasy 14 do handle that? Thanks for your guide, its a seriously cool concept.
Maybe I'm dumb but I can't figure out how to get console port to work XD I dragged all the folders into the addons folder but wow said I was using addons that were out of date, and when I loaded up the game to test it, the buttons were all mapped really weird and no matter what I did it wouldn't let me change the mappings. It also didn't look anything like the interface layout that you have!
So we can use a controller for WoW now? I had to quit a few expansions back bc the game was giving me carpel tunnel. Any controller? Plus nothing to install?
I use an xbox and stadia controller to play. You'll need the plugin to make it work best, or my other guide as youd have to enter in text commands. I prefer this method with the plugin.
well I updated my old 2018 version of console port for wow classic tbc and now it does not work at all. the old version worked fine besides a few features so I decided to update and now nothing. do you still need wowmapper for this to work? I updated that as well and I can get controller function in game but no cross UI like before and console port setup doesn't come up like it should so I'm completely lost.
Is there a way to have both layouts, like, if you're chilling enable the controler layout/interface and if you're raiding enable the mouse and keys layout/interface? Great vid btw
@@GingerPrimeGaming Hello! Sorry for my dumbness but i seem to have mine turn on but still doest appear on screen. Do you have any suggestion? Keep the good videos :)
You have the console port turned on? But it’s not showing up... if that’s the case, console port should prompt you to set it up. I’d have you disable the plugin and re-enable it and see if that helps
I am unsure if you will see this but can you do a more detailed setup for controllers? My controllers buttons are all corresponding to different other buttons and with my movement stick if i press up, i got left. and none of my directionals go the right way.
@@GingerPrimeGaming I mainly play FFXIV but i told my friends if they could get me setup with controller, id try out WoW and they said you are the one to go to. i look forward to the future videos, maybe ill be able to start playing WoW soon if i ever get this controller working!
How do I set up sprinting (only). I keep walking backwards when trying to get away in a fight and its really anoying when I intended to sprint and get slowed down and the enemy catches up...
I cannot find a way how to quest, I need to use right stick to point the aim to npc and then I use interact button, looting is madness, I need to move camera to aim to corpse and then press ineract.
Does the R trigger still sometimes turn off? Was having that issue last night a few times in a dungeon. Made playing with a controller a bit frustrating.
Awesome to hear that. I am running into some issues while using the addon and not sure why. Mainly R T A isn’t taking any keybindings. Says it’s for raid abilities? So maybe for covenant abilities and such?
Haha man you would be Warlock, I came to this hoping there would be a class specific part (Warlock main) that's great. But I gotta say, you were definitely right about still learning the spec, would love to see an updated image of your current mapping if you still play Warlock, if you even still play WoW that is. I appreciate the insights for the addon I still cant get comfortable with it after pissing about for a few hours I think the convenience factor has been lost to me but oh well.
@@GingerPrimeGaming -- If you are looking for an addon which goes very well with playing with a controller and makes keybinding easier, I would recommend OPIE. WoW can get overwhelming with how many things you can bind outside of your abilities. OPIE lets you bind many like items to a single key. Like for example, if you have 4 or 5 favorite mounts, you can bind them to one key. OPIE will bring up a raidal and you just slide to the specific mount you want. It helps with things like raid markers, potions, flasks, food, or any consumable you would want to lump together to 1 key bind.
Been using the xbox series 2 controller, and the stadia controller and both feel great. I plan on getting a ps5 controller soon to test and play around with.
I hope you decide to go through with your class controller guide. This may be an extremely lazy opinion, but I'll state it anyway. I believe the biggest obstacle to players using controllers is the lack of a full template. When you buy a console game the controller template is already set. It is intimidating to set it up yourself. Even addons like weakauras are used because people can download other people's work. Weakauras would be less used if everyone had to make their own. I don't know if you can export consoleport settings, but if you can it would be an amazing tool for people who want a class or spec template. The class and spec set ups are less intimidating than setting up just the base setup. I mean establishing friendly / enemy target selection, menus, chat options, vehicle operation, and etc. Those things are important because they will be the same on all characters hopefully. I think people could operate the addon easier if there was at least a template. Selecting absolutely everything yourself is really intimidating. Not to mention classes that have special action bar operations like rogues and druids which gain action bars in stealth. I hope one day console port settings were available for import or just a base setup for classes gets made which can be used for minor adjustments compared to major adjustments.
Is it anyway possible to move the camera around without moving the character? I defnitely need that for future records! Tried teasing the hell out of the XBox Joystick, but it just didnt work and I couldnt find any solutions so far. :-(
Hi I was wondering if anyone can help im disabled and trying to play with a controller but for some reason my analog sticks aint working. Does anyone no why?
Honestly, I miss my druid... I might try a different spec. I'm not hating on warlock mind you, my current review would be it's "fine", but that could be that I need some skill at level 60 or something along those lines. Hope that makes since. It feels fine on controller, and I'll put out a guide on the class once I'm at cap and have tested it in all kinds of content.
Thanks for the great work. 👌 One thing I still don’t get: how did you loot that quick? I currently have to press left stick to get the mouse and then hovering with the right stick towards the dead bodies / interaction to klick it. Somehow it takes ages and I really liked yours better. Would love if you could help out. Stay safe & best regards from Germany ✌️
I’ll see if I can’t refresh this with my full set of options that I’m using as I click and loot and off the top of my head I don’t have those memorized :)
i installed this addon (i play ffxiv) i have no idea how to equip items using this. i can somehow pull up bag and my character but not at the same time
I’ll test, for this I still use my keyboard shift and then right click to equip. Shift shows me a comparison between what I have. But I’ll keep testing and refreshing as a fellow FFXIV player myself
@@GingerPrimeGaming coolio! my bf and i are kinda messing with it but it seems like our pcs dont want to recognize the ps button at all for the game, as well as share. but if i try to manually set something to share, it comes up as a back button, like for the xbox. it is a game changing add on, but as a native ps player, its weird. still messing with it.
So, my analogue is not set. How do I set that up? Left analogue is not moving me, right analogue is not making me look around. I can't find anything on how to set this, and the key bind menu does not recognize the inputs. If anyone can direct me to information on this I would be deeply appreciative. WoW is the only game I have that is not recognizing my analogue inputs.

Maybe if I can get enough experience and test them out enough. I'm still drinking from a firehose just having stepped into the wow world in 2020 :S
@@GingerPrimeGaming -- If you are looking for an addon which goes very well with playing with a controller and makes keybinding easier, I would recommend OPIE. WoW can get overwhelming with how many things you can bind outside of your abilities. OPIE lets you bind many like items to a single key. Like for example, if you have 4 or 5 favorite mounts, you can bind them to one key. OPIE will bring up a raidal and you just slide to the specific mount you want. It helps with things like raid markers, potions, flasks, food, or any consumable you would want to lump together to 1 key bind.
That does sound awesome. Let me check it out :)
Thanks! :)
Thanks for this. I'm so glad I stumbled on the video. I can't figure out how to equip items though, am I missing something simple?
what kind of controllers would you recommend, interesting in trying this
Been using the xbox series 2 controller, and the stadia controller and both feel great. I plan on getting a ps5 controller soon to test and play around with.
@@GingerPrimeGaming right on gonna def try this to see how it feels. I used one on ffxiv and loved it.
I have tried for two days to get this to work and I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Where do I buy a controller like that?
I hope you decide to go through with your class controller guide.
This may be an extremely lazy opinion, but I'll state it anyway. I believe the biggest obstacle to players using controllers is the lack of a full template. When you buy a console game the controller template is already set. It is intimidating to set it up yourself. Even addons like weakauras are used because people can download other people's work. Weakauras would be less used if everyone had to make their own.
I don't know if you can export consoleport settings, but if you can it would be an amazing tool for people who want a class or spec template.
The class and spec set ups are less intimidating than setting up just the base setup. I mean establishing friendly / enemy target selection, menus, chat options, vehicle operation, and etc.
Those things are important because they will be the same on all characters hopefully.
I think people could operate the addon easier if there was at least a template. Selecting absolutely everything yourself is really intimidating.
Not to mention classes that have special action bar operations like rogues and druids which gain action bars in stealth.
I hope one day console port settings were available for import or just a base setup for classes gets made which can be used for minor adjustments compared to major adjustments.
This is awesome, Can u use switch pro controller ?
Just subscribed can you drop a link where I can get that controller with the keyboard I can only find knockoffs
I’ll see if I can get you that info later today. Not at my PC right now. It’s the Xbox elite series 2 with chatpad attachment
Is there a way to get the camera to follow behind you as you run?
is this now outdated, when i load the game it says my addons are outdated and my controller doesnt work
Is it anyway possible to move the camera around without moving the character? I defnitely need that for future records!
Tried teasing the hell out of the XBox Joystick, but it just didnt work and I couldnt find any solutions so far. :-(
so, where is the link to the extension...
i have problem please help! my character turn face back when going back how to fix this ?
Hi I was wondering if anyone can help im disabled and trying to play with a controller but for some reason my analog sticks aint working. Does anyone no why?
Is the rt still bugged? It sometimes resets to default
How are you liking warlock? I considered it, but the amount of demons/abilities at 50+ seemed a bit much for a controller layout
Honestly, I miss my druid... I might try a different spec. I'm not hating on warlock mind you, my current review would be it's "fine", but that could be that I need some skill at level 60 or something along those lines. Hope that makes since. It feels fine on controller, and I'll put out a guide on the class once I'm at cap and have tested it in all kinds of content.
I play WOW on PC how can I get my controller to work?
My default A button on xbox controller is jump and it stays that way no matter if i change what A does
how do i get this i cant figure out how to get it what do i do please help?
It's an addon that you have to install outside of WoW through either CurseForge or WoWUp like he was using. The addon is called "ConsolePort".
Thanks for the great work. 👌 One thing I still don’t get: how did you loot that quick? I currently have to press left stick to get the mouse and then hovering with the right stick towards the dead bodies / interaction to klick it. Somehow it takes ages and I really liked yours better.
Would love if you could help out.
Stay safe & best regards from Germany ✌️
I’ll see if I can’t refresh this with my full set of options that I’m using as I click and loot and off the top of my head I don’t have those memorized :)
i installed this addon (i play ffxiv) i have no idea how to equip items using this. i can somehow pull up bag and my character but not at the same time
I’ll test, for this I still use my keyboard shift and then right click to equip. Shift shows me a comparison between what I have. But I’ll keep testing and refreshing as a fellow FFXIV player myself
@@GingerPrimeGaming coolio! my bf and i are kinda messing with it but it seems like our pcs dont want to recognize the ps button at all for the game, as well as share. but if i try to manually set something to share, it comes up as a back button, like for the xbox.
it is a game changing add on, but as a native ps player, its weird. still messing with it.
So, my analogue is not set. How do I set that up? Left analogue is not moving me, right analogue is not making me look around. I can't find anything on how to set this, and the key bind menu does not recognize the inputs. If anyone can direct me to information on this I would be deeply appreciative. WoW is the only game I have that is not recognizing my analogue inputs.
you should post the profile
