This is awesome, i love how you used the EQOA dropdown menu as inspiration for commands.

[@HoopleBogart]

This is amazing. More people should try EQ with controller. 👍

[@robertengstrand4314]

Cool!

[@stonelistic576]

I commend you for this fantastic creation. What gamepad do you recommend?

[@Rubikant]

@stonelistic576 Thanks! I’ve just been using a PS4 controller and DS4Windows. The touchpad is handy for initially navigating Windows to start the games up. Also found the 2-finger slide up and down on the touchpad a bit easier to use to scroll up and down UI windows than other button assignments for the mouse wheel (default is L2+DPad in the example control scheme provided with the app).

awesomeness! can this be used for everquest 2?

[@Rubikant]

@@johnmane6269 In theory yes, it can be used with any game, but you’ll have to make a custom control scheme (profile) for it. I have only personally tried using it with (and made default profiles for) the games shown in the video though. I’d probably start with one of the EQ profiles provided and modify it to suit EQ2. There is extensive documentation in the readme file on the project page for how to customize a profile for whatever control setup you want for whatever game you want, but I’ll warn you that it all involves editing a text file at this point. I haven’t had time to make customizing your controls more user-friendly than that.
