SWTOR using a controller

Just wanted to show that you can play TOR using a controller.
Currently here is my button layout:

I was playing with everyone on MAX. So please ignore the Frame Rate Lag, (Thats from FRAPS). The audio gets a little off sync.

Thanks for putting this up, big fan of Xpadder an use it quite abit (D&D) and few others, I use it with my Saiteks, kinda disappointed they never added in gamepad support like City of Heroes, Aion. ect. ect. Anyways, Im wondering what are the mouse button configs on your bottom right pad for? Been trying to figure out the best layout but its def. time consuming an any tips be appreciated! Cheers an Thnx!!

@chiggz Yeah, I'll ask my one friend he has been using his controller for TOR on multiple classes, I'll see if he can screenshot his layout so I can share it.

I've been using keyboard/mouse, but right now the way I've been playing my sniper I should be able to play with controller, just i sometimes have issues with the camera in the game.

does the game support gamepads or did you have to map all the buttons to what you use on your keyboard.

[indemaTROY]

@jonldavis I had to map the buttons, check out the description I posted a link to an image on how i had mine setup.

[indemaTROY]

Nope

Awesome another controller user.

Took me a while to organize my quickslots though.

Nice Vid... I just got Xpadder set up and got it configured... but, how do I get it to work in game?? nothing works once my game is up

[Holyknightomega]

How do you set the controller up to even work w/ Swtor?

@indemaTROY Just going to ask now. I've been playing MMOs since I was like 8. I've exhausted pretty much every f2p and p2p mmo except for Final Fantasy XIV, RIFT and SWTOR. So I wanna know in your honest opinion, will SWTOR quench my mmo thirst? Or will I do a few quests and be bored 30 minutes later? :/

Thank's for posting this. Was getting so tired of the M&K setup, game just wasn't fun anymore. Felt as though I was micromanaging a game instead of playing a one.

so i mapped all the keys and contoller buttons just like you did but when i log into the game and try to use it, it wont let me for some reason so do i have to go under keybindings or is there something i need to do in xpadder ?

Hey, guys! Not to self-promote, but I made a tutorial blog about this for anyone interested in playing with a controller: swtorpeeps.blogspot.com.
