Is this the best controller mapping for ESO (Xpadder)?

Post » Sat Mar 29, 2014 8:30 am

So I've been working on a 360 controller control scheme for ESO working with Xpadder. I've reviewed my mappings over and over while I wait for the game (going nuts waiting for Sunday!) and feel like I've got a pretty complete and intuitive mapping scheme. Looking for feedback now to see if anyone has suggestions on ways to improve the scheme. Once I finally get my wireless receiver from Hong Kong... I can post the Xpadder profile if anyone's interested.

Spoilered for length:

So, there are basically 3 control schemes at work here.

Set 1 = normal play; Set 2 = RB held down; and Set 3 = Menu control scheme.

Set 1 (no modifier):
LS - Movement keys
RS - Camera Control
LS Click - Crouch
RS Click - Toggle 1st/3rd person
LT - Block
RT - Attack and Fire Siege Weapon
LB - Sprint
RB - Tap: tab enemy target / Hold: Special modifier key
A - Ability 1
B - Ability 2
X - Ability 3
Y - Tap: dodge roll / Hold: Jump
D-Up - Horse
D-Left - Weapon Swap
D-Down - NPC Interaction
D-Right - Favorites
Start - Tap: Map & GOTO SET 3 / Hold: Journal & GOTO SET 3
Back - Tap: Inventory & GOTO SET 3 / Hold: Skills & GOTO SET 3
Xbox Guide: Open/Close Menus (alt key) and Exit Siege

Set 2 (RB is pressed):
LS - Movement keys
RS - Camera Control
LS Click - Crouch
RS Click - Toggle 1st/3rd person
LT - Block
RT - Attack
LB - Sprint
RB - Modifier key (must be held down to access Set 2)
A - Ability 4
B - Ability 5
X - Use Synergy and Stow Siege Weapon
Y - Ultimate
D-Up - Tap: Toggle Walk/Run / Hold: Auto-run
D-Left - Weapon Swap
D-Down - PC Interaction
D-Right - Favorites
Start - Cycle Assisted Quest
Back - Open Character screen & GOTO SET 3 (**release RB once in menu**)
Xbox Guide: Open/Close Menus (alt key)

and finally, when you're in the menu screens things change up a bit:

Set 3 (in menus)
LS-Up - Mouse Scroll Up
LS-Down - Mouse Scroll Down
RS - Mouse Cursor
LT - Cycle Menu I, C, K, J, M, P, O (ESO menu order)
RT - Cycle Menu Reverse Order O, P, M, J, K, C, I
A - Left Mouse Button
B - Close Menu & GOTO SET 1
Y - Right Mouse Button
D-up - Character Menu
D-Left - Inventory
D-Down - Skills
D-Right - Journal
Start - Map
Back - Close Menu & GOTO SET 1
Xbox Guide - Close Menu & GOTO SET 1

One question, how are you going to hold RB, move the camera, and execute an ability? Assuming you are going melee.

I will be going bow/2H. I don't think that will be much of an issue, it takes a fraction of a sec to switch your thumb position. But if it is, it would be easy to switch around the LB and RB mappings.
