xbox 360 controller mapping issues

[Thoroughbred5 0]

Dear DayZ

I am a console player who bought this PC game because I love the concept. I cannot play with a mouse or keyboard.  I am trying to play DayZ with an xbox 360 controller. I went to “configure” to “controls” to “assisgnment” and mapped out most of the button controls. The ONLY button that will not map out is the “fire button control.” The fire button control will only work with the primary mouse button. I am UNABLE to map out the “fire button control” to ANY of my controller buttons. The fire bottom control will not configure to any of my controller buttons. The fire control button is the most important button in the game and I hope you could fix this glitch soon.  Please help!

Thank you.

Play with a mouse and keyboard...why? Because they are better for Accuracy. Even if you somehow managed to get a controller to fully work with all the controls you would be at a 100% dis-advantage.

 

Secondly, there are too many actions and complex controls that you can simply not do with a controller.

 

Not easily and ergonomically anyways.

 

Drop your filthy console peasant ways and join the PC-Master race and all the cool stuff that it brings.

I do not think they will have controller optimization for a long while.
