Considering Dark Souls you can for example create a mapping for the left stick button (元) which has no use and put forward+light attack on it for the kick which is normally hard to perform. Everything you need is with reach, with no other buttons and keys to get in your way. Left thumb for moving / weapon+magic selection, right thumb for camera + use / dodge / item / two handing and trigger finger for light / hard attack or parry, block.įor controller just buy a normal wireless xbox360 controller for about 40-50€ because most games have this one as standard controller and with programms like JoyToKey you can create extra mappings for them. The game was designed specifically for controller-use. On top of that, Razer has added ‘adjustable actuation’, letting you change the keystroke length. In the end the controller is more comfortable. There’s still some games like Dark Souls where a controller will still reign supreme, however. Will it be harder for me to play DS3 with controller? Its the other way around, Dark Souls and most other cross plattform title are meant to be played with controller while on keyboard+mouse some commands are way more difficult to execute because the button mapping is spread across the keyboard or you need more finger for example moving (WASD ~3 fingers + little finger Shift for slow moving vs left stick which only needs the thumb).
