Keybinding issue when using axe

[toofu 1]

I have been using my PS3 controller to play many games for a long time now, so when i got around to using it with DayZ SA i was eager to see controller support built into the game. 

My only trouble is getting the axe swing to be useable on the controller. 

I can fire guns with the setup i have, i just can't swing a melee weapon. 

Considering the latest update on zombies made them a bit more difficult to deal with and not being able to swing an axe is deadly. 

Any ideas?

I haven't tried editing the keybindings directly from the configuration file.

Do you have "toggle raise/lower weapon" bound to anything, or have you been just relying on the "primary fire" button? Because I have to actually raise the axe now in order to use it. Just a thought.

Ehm... Question!

 

Why don't you just use your mouse and keyboard?

@Geckofrog7:

I do have raise weapon bond to a key on my controller. Even after rising the axe, using the same button that fires my rifles does not swing my axe.

Does one have to always use a keyboard and mouse for playing pc games?

As I stated in my original post, i have several games i play on PC which i have taken a liking to playing with a controller, not to mention the myriad of indie games which play 100 times better with a controller in hand.
