. UPDATE. I have made another mod which lets you use the Keyboard as well as the xbox 360 controller simultaneously. This is as perfect as it gets for VAC users!! It is also good for people without VAC because this allows you to use more hotkeys than the 360 controller lets you. What i did is: 1. Only map the button 'End' to the left button using Xpadder 2.
Go to skyrim settings menu and turn xbox 360 controller ON 3. Set the push to talk key in VAC to 'End' and set the mode to 'Arm' So when you're in game, just tap the left button and say something that you set in VAC and it will execute the command in the game! I told VAC to press 'p' when i say 'Magic'. So when im in game and using my 360 controller, VAC presses the button 'p' to open up the magic menu.
'p' is the button for quick access to the Magic menu when using keyboard (if you didnt already know.) Here is the mod:. NOTE. As far as i know, you need Xpadder version 5.7 for this profile to work. I will include my controller image and the profile in the download.Which file to download?. I have uploaded a new file named 'TWEAKED Skyrim Xpadder Xbox 360 Controller'. This configuration is for people that want just a button to press to make them either walk or run instead of pushing the left stick a certain percentage. So in this configuration, you press the LEFT D-Pad button in order to either walk or run.
This is a toggle button. If you want the original config, please download the main file, not the optional. Installation:. To install the controller image, click on the little controller icon to the top left, select 'Open', then select 'XBOX 360 For Windows.xpaddercontroller'. To install the controller config, click on the other little button on the same row (icon looks like a piece of paper with writing), and click on open and select 'Skyrim (Xbox360 Controller).xpadderprofile'. Some cool features: - You can walk or run depending on how much you push the joystick in any direction.
Reduce mouse sensitivity when using Bow and Arrow for more accurate shooting. Ergonomic layout (i literally just made it, so ill keep adding features if i can) Okay so here goes. The left joystick is for movement (mapped to 'W,A,S,D'). The speed at which you move depends on how much you push the stick.
If the stick is pushed less than 65% of the threshold (sounds like a lot but it isnt), then you walk slowly - If the stick is pushed more than 65% of the threshold you start running (this is NOT sprinting!) 2. Press down the left stick to crouch, and press again to get up (mapped to 'L-Ctrl') 3. The right stick is to look around (mapped to mouse). It has reasonable sensitivity so it wont feel odd or slow. You can change it if you like by pressing the little wrench icon next to the RIGHT STICK and choosing 'mouse settings' at the bottom. Move the sliders to adjust sensitivity. Press the right stick to change between First and Third person (mapped to 'F').

D-Pad: Mapped to Arrow keys (up,down,left,right). Start button: Exits the character menu and brings you back to default playing controls. Back button: Use this button if you CANT JUMP while playing the game.
This is because you have to press the 'B button' on the 360 controller for a reason other than to access the character menu and you are stuck in this configuration. A button: Mapped to 'E'.

Use this to issue the WAIT command. Use left stick to specify the amount of time to wait, and press 'A button' to wait.KNOWN PROBLEMS AND FIXES. 1. If your character CANT JUMP, press the BACK BUTTON 2. If your character starts walking very slow even though you are pushing the stick all the way, then press RIGHT D-PAD. I have no idea why this happens, but i found pressing the Caps-Lock button fixes this so i mapped the RIGHT d-pad to Caps-Lock.
If you cant use Xpadder while playing Skyrim, just run Xpadder with admin rights. It should fix this problem. Please let me know of any other problems you encounter and ill fix it and re-upload the file, thanks:) Ask questions if you're having any trouble. And let me know if i've missed something.
Hey everyone, I have pretty severe tendon/wrist issues that make a gamepad the only way to enjoy a PC game. I know there are some of you out there that suffer from the same issues and I thought I'd share my Xpadder profile. D3 plays really nicely with a gamepad once programmed correctly. The mouse movement take some time getting used to but even the harder difficulties are no problem after a bit of time. Here's the program you need to use to map the gamepad commands: Xpadder And the profile I made for D3: The profile should work for any gamepad that has the same configuration as the XBOX 360 controller or the Logitech Rumblepad series (I use the F710). Hope you guys find it useful!
Let me know if any of you need the controller profiles as well (I have both).
Xpadder Game Profile For Swtor
Hello, I'm looking to use one of the mentioned control-mapping programs so I can use a controller for PC games. I never used a control-mapping program before but heard Xpadder and Pinnacle Game Profiler (websites below) were pretty decent. Xpadder is normally 10 bucks cheaper but Pinnacle has a 75% sale right now (I think for one more day) bringing it down to $5 cheaper than Xpadder. Also Pinnacle looks a bit more 'professional' (if that matters). Has anyone here had experience with either of them? Should I be looking at another program entirely? Xpadder ($10)- or Pinnacle Game Profiler (Normally $20, now $5 for one more day) - What I'm looking to do btw is just map controls for a gamepad (probably the 360 controller) for some games that have little or no controller support.
(i.e Oblivion, Mass Effect, Dragon age, Bioshock.). Xpadder doesnt have a free trial unfortunately, so I wouldnt be able to compare them myself. (unless I buy both) I read around and I heard the mapping options in PGP are better than Xpadder or any other similar program, but there is noticeable input lag due to how some of the commands work. Xpadder doesn't have all the options as PGP does but it works alot better. Can anyone confirm this? Never used a program like this before, so compared to less mapping options is input lag that big of a deal or does it really ruin the experience no matter how advanced mapping is?
I know this was originally posted a while ago but I hope I can help. I've used both for a couple of years now. First Xpadder then PGP. For simplicity, I prefer Xpadder. It's quicker to map keys than PGP and it's got such a simple interface, it's like mapping keys for dummies.
It's fantastic. However PGP does have some advanced features that Xpadder doesn't have.
For instance, once you've finished mapping your keys for a game, you can link that profile to the game. So when you're switching profiles, it'll automatically launch the game. And it does also provide you with an image of the mapped keys before the game boots which is handy if you use a controller for a lot of games.
There is also a setting with PGP which I always keep active. When you're not in a game, it'll automatically map some main keyboard keys & mouse buttons to the controller so you can sit back and use the controller for more casual use. This is only useful if you're sitting back on the sofa say and your pc/laptop is plugged into the TV. You can just load up your favourite browser not IE and hit up YouTube.
Side Note, I've got a good few profiles for each, including Rayman 2 & 3. TES Oblivion.
Quake 1,2,3 (&TA), Quake Wars - Enemy Territory. Plants VS Zombies, Warhammer 40K Regicide, Test Drive Unlimited, Legacy of Kain games, LoTR BFME2 & RotWK and a tun more. If anyone want's my profiles, just drop me a message.
TLDR Dummies use Xpadder Advanced users use PGP. I'm a big dummie, I prefer Xpadder Hope it helps!
