PC Controller

Post by gamermanblue »

I need some help if anybody knows

I just bought a gaming controller for my PC. Just a genaric brand. My computer recognizes it and I have callibrated it as well, but I can't get it to work for skyrim.

If anyone could give me some pointers or step by step instructions I would be much obliged.

Did you check 'Xbox 360 Controller' at the settings?

In the settings under gameplay the 360 controller box is ticked, and I have a green light on the controller, so I know it's on, but it doesn't do anything.

Motionjoy says my controller is working as well. I can use it to test my controller but still no dice.

Do I need to change something in the .ini file?

Does your controller work for any other games?

Yes and no

I am having trouble mapping the buttons properly. For instance, on oblivion the left thumbstick works but not the right one. The left trigger, which should be block is instead opening the menu.

But it is recognizing the controller even if things are not what they shoud be. But no dice for Skyrim.

This is what I get for buying generic. Well that and being fairly useless when it comes to figuring out computers.
