You will pretty much always spawn somewhere on the east coast. everyone does.

Most people will advise to avoid Elektro. Use the map at dayzdb.com. Start working inland from small town to small town. The futhrer in you get the more loot there will be. Also look for servers that reset often + low population.

I've seen various things like that in stores. They look interesting but i don't often play in a 'desktop' scenerio. I'm more often laying in bed with my laptop on my lap and controller in hand.

I'm used to console shooters. I'm quicker and more accurate with the controller. It also seems much less clunky to me. X-Padder has this functionality (Hold/tap a button to activate a seperate keybind setup), but I don't utilize it often. I'd use Double Taps/Holds for different functions but can't figure it out with X-Padder as of yet. Brings me to.... Could you explain to me how to program a button to do something different for a Hold vs a double tap in X-Padder? Haven't figured this out.

I'll list out my key-sets. I really don't have too many issues. If I had a chat-pad for my xbox controller it'd probably work even better. Not sure if my PC/Xpadder will recognize the additional buttons, however.
-
It'd be interesting to find out. I haven't gotten a chance to use a gun as of yet so can't really tell if the controller suits guns. I'm much more proficient with the melee weapons I've come across with a controller than a keyboard/mouse. But as I've said I don't claim to be proficient with a K/M.
-
Come to think of it, there are a couple of buttons I don't think I've been using. I'll need to figure out what they're set up to do... But yeah if anyone else uses one I'm interested to hear your set-up and how it's working for you. Thing is I play on a laptop, in my bed. So the keyboard/mouse doesn't work at all unless I feel like going to my desk to play. And I'm very new to PC games so I'm shit at using the keyboard in the best of circumstances.
-
The main issue I have is the Function keys, and the Z,X,C. Otherwise most of my controls are set up pretty good. As a console user I'm just used to a controller. Pointing with a mouse doesn't seem as intuitive. To each his own.
-
So I use an xbox controller set-up with Xpadder to play Day Z, with only a few functions that I couldn't map on the keyboard. I'm used to consoles so it's waaay easier for me to aim and such with a controller. Anyone else do this? What sort of layout do you use, if so?
