Skyrim gamepad for PC?

Post » Sat Jun 02, 2012 3:14 am

Hi guys, i want to buy a gamepad to play my PC version of the game, it′s very uncomfortable for me play with keyboard+mouse since i play all my games on my sofa near the tv :D Any idea about the compatibility of the game with gamepads? I heard i can play it with a xbox gamepad but since i havent a xbox i thought it would be better idea buy a generic one, although i′m not sure it will work. I dont want to waste my money on a gamepad if it dont work on this game :P

Thank you.

I play Skyrim with a http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-940-000117-Wireless-Gamepad-F710/dp/B0041RR0TW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323621239&sr=8-1. I'm exclusively a PC gamer and this controller makes a huge difference in ports that were designed to be played with a controller.

Buy a wired Xbox360 controller, it's the official windows controller IIRC and pretty much all games which feature controller compatibility come with the Xbox360 controller fully pre-mapped. It is seriously the most hassle-free thing. Plus, they're pretty good controllers.

Debatable.

I personally say that's the 360 controller, wired or wireless. It just works, most of the time. Windows will download the drivers automatically, being a MS product and all.

But the Logitech is a good choice to.
