I've been searching and tinkering with this problem for a few weeks now with nearly no success, and was wondering if anyone else had any solution to this, or possibly could devise a solution.

Basically, the idea is to use a gaming joystick (such as the thumbsticks on an Xbox 360 controller, or the Logitech G13), in an anolog mode, while still preserving mouse and keyboard support. I've been tinkering with mods trying to add the functionality, but nothing, so far, has proved usable (mouse is the biggest problem).

The two mods that have given me SOME solution are:
Interface Hard Coded Key Tweaks by crazy-g
360 Hotkey Enabler by NVShacker

both of which work with an added controlmap.txt file, and I've managed to get most of the keyboard working while I'm using the G13 with anolog joystick enabled, as well as all the mouse buttons, but the mouse x,y does not look, nor do I get a mouse cursor in game.. The mouse seems mutually exclusive to the joystick (which seems to be the idea from the start from Bethesda, wanting this to be a game controlled by the Xbox 360 controller).

If any of you want to know how I got the joystick on the G13 to work in anolog mode:


This is just a first couple of steps. I've managed to get the controller working in game, but at a cost of other things, however, perhaps one of you can have better luck?

Step 1 is to get the joystick working AS a joystick. Open the Logitech Gaming Software, click the G button at the bottom of the window, select the Skyrim profile, then click on any of the four direction arrows surrounding the joystick (the down arrow that appears over the directional arrows), then click "Assign Joystick."

To be sure this has worked correctly (if you're running Windows 7) Click Start -> Control Panel -> Devices and Printers, then right click on the Logitech G13 (or if not listed as such, just right click on "HID-compliant game controller", then click "Game controller settings." Make sure "Logitech G13 Joystick" is selected, then click "Properties" and move the joystick around. You should see the crosshairs move in the window that pops up.

Next, copy the link below and paste it in your location bar (remove all spaces too. sorry, the forums aren't letting me put a link on this forum post):

The link above is to get another controller, the Logitech Rumblepad 2, working in Skyrim. It does this, as far as I can tell, by emulating the Xbox 360 controller using the Rumblepad 2. The problem is, in game it removes mouse usability, as well as most buttons on the keyboard (which is what most of the keys are on the G13 - but it gets the joystick working in game.

If anyone else has any ideas on how to get this working, I'm game, as I would LOVE to have full anolog control over my walking in the game (and free up the walking button to boot).
