Have fun with this one.


But the easiest solution is to get a wired 360 controller. A microsoft product that works right away.

I use my ps3 controller since I don't have a wired 360 controller, but I'd recommend just getting a wired 360 controller. Setting up motioninjoy for my ps3 controller for the first time was such a hassle that I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else

fricking keyboard and mouse. Where the hell is this generation coming from who don't know how to operate these two things? If you've ever clicked link, you can certainly learn to click on an enemy's head.

I am coming from Gaming Consoles so the controller is a natural feel

For me, not using the keyboard and mouse is more of a comfort deal, as in I'd rather sit back in my chair and play. Even with shooters, which I know it's more accurate with a KB/M, I'd rather not spend the time learning the key layout since most controller configurations are pretty uniform. I can hold my own playing with it. I'll never be elite, but I've come to grips with that. Just have fun.

Go with a 360 pad or the WiiU Pro controller.

WiiU pro is my favorite for PC, long battery life and feels great.

I use my 360 controller sometimes when playing something like borderlands and I am just exploring. It is easy to sit back and just relax with it. However, the moment I get into combat I always say "frick this" and get back on the kb/m.

The usb cable won't work the same because it's just for charging the battery. I think there is a way to use the wireless 360, but I can't remember how. Maybe a wireless dongle or something. PS4 controllers work better if you want to go wireless because it's bluetooth, assuming your PC has bluetooth.

I can never find a suitable sensitivity when using kb/m. It's bizarre because that's what I started out with.

My problem is that my desk sucks so I just can't get as comfortable as when i sit back with the controller. Especially playing borderlands as an assassin, I need the improved accuracy of the mouse to get headshots.

This is kind of easy on BL2, especially with the controller. I wonder if adding you to our group is such a good idea.
