Go into controller options, click 'game pads' and then activate the controller scheme already there. Everything you need is already on the controller, these are ARMA specific movement / shooting stuff. Use your keyboard / mouse for everything else. For stuff like using fires and things you use DPad up / down and for use its A. I'm yet to try the attachable keyboard. I'm tempted to write an C# program which sends key presses if it does not work (Which I will release here aswell). The controller shouldn't be considered a complete replacement of the mouse / keyboard but it really does help if you're on a laptop or are just better with it.

I use an Xbox controller with my laptop and it works just fine, its actually easier to sneak around with it as you have the digital input for the movement speed. The only thing is you'll have to use the keyboard and mouse for inventory actions but you shouldn't really be trying to do that in combat anyway. Oh and you cant free look around either. Although I'm more combat effective with the mouse, I have absolutely no problem shooting with the Xbox controller.
