Oblivion on PC with an Xbox 360 controller

Post » Mon Jun 20, 2011 11:01 pm

Hello

I'm about to get a new PC and I intend play Oblivion, Morrowind and Skyrim on it. However i'm a longtime console gamer as such i'm used laying back on the couch with a controller as such I intend to set up my new PC as though it is a games console, in my living room hooked up to my TV which i'm going to sit a few feet away from.

Has anybody used a similar set up? if so how did you find it? how easy is it to play Oblivion on PC with an Xbox 360 controller? can I just mirror the 360 versions control setup?

Also could I also use Keyboard quick select keys as well as the controller?

Cheers

If you plug in a 360 controller I think it will automatically recognize it and do the controls for you

It's exactly like if you were just playing it on the 360, except with better graphics and the option to mod it. It should have the exact same default controls as if you were playing it on the 360 also, and if it for some reason doesn't you can always just map them to do what you want them to.

So basically, it's infinity times better.

This would be of use to you I think: http://www.gamesas.com/?showtopic=565651

Edit- Also, it must be a standard wired controller or a wireless one http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Windows-Pc/dp/B000HZFCT2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308519160&sr=8-1. The play and charge kit will not work.

It will work as a charger. The Play and Charge kit doesnt have data transfer wires in it, only power wires so it would work for power.
