Is there any way to enable use of my xbox controller? I really have no desire to use my mouse and keyboard.

My Xbox 360 wireless controller worked automatically. Had to configure the key bindings myself tho, the defaults weren't t good

I bought and downloaded SW:SotE last night. My wired Xbox 360 controller (GameStop brand) worked right off the bat. I have a Logitech F310 that I'll test out with it later.

Can you do that in the game itself, or an external utility? (I thought SW:SotE didn't natively support gamepads.)

Most of the controls can be configured in the games settings. However you can not pause the game with the controller or use the Triggers. You can use a app such as Controller Companion, Pinnacle Game Profiler, or Xpadder to add those functions.

My current setup:
A=Jump
X=Fire
B=Activate Jetpack
Y=Change Weapon
RB=Activate
LB=Aim
Start=Pause
Triggers=strafe
D-Pad Up=Camera Camera
D-Pad Down= Crouch

Thanks for all the input.

Now, you will all get a kick out of this, but my controller was not turned on. Nor did I have the proper drivers. So now that that is fixed, it works.

Great - I will check it out. Thanks.
