Why doesn't brink support the xbox controller for windows. I was assured that as the gmae was being released as under games for window it would support the xbox controller for window, thank you for wasting my money, as I cannot play game with a keyboard as I suffer from severe tenditis in my hand and a keyboard is too painful for me to use so thank you very much!

The game can have controller support activated through the console.

control + alt + Shift + ~ will bring up the console command

type in this:

+set g_EnablePCControllerInput 1

If you're sick of doing this everytime, i'd suggest getting a gamepad mapper like http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Xpadder.shtml and making a controller profile for Brink. Its really easy with Xpadder!
