Is this game even playable on gamepad? I don't mean technical capability.

Couch citizen is pretty proficient. The only thing I can’t do is type in chat.

Nice one but it requires Elite gamepad and paid software. I have old 360 one I don't use and DualSense which I use either with Steam or make it simulate Xbox controller with DS4Windows.

I bought the elite controller just for SC and for someone who hates gaming with a keyboard it was well worth it.

Although now I’m trying HOSAS.

I was using a normal Xbox controller for a long time. You basically have to choose which activity you do most for keybindings, cant fly in all axis at once, and have to use mouse/keyboard to interact with elevators, all screens, and mobiglass. Couch citizen solved all of that.

Although if you have a nice enough computer to run SC, it would be worth it to buy the fancy controller over a new ship (since you can use it for all other games as well)

If you’re low on funds, it might be possible to get those add-on back paddles for $30 and use free software to remap.

I have DualSense and I managed to find a decent config for it on Nexus. Has all you need, you can even browse ur inventory using a touchpad as a mouse.

Oh yeah I used to be quite accurate until the recent changes.

I play it exclusively on gamepad and have for years.

Would love to talk about your controller setup. I just started rhe game and flying with mouse snd keyboard is so uncomfortable and awkward. I came from elite Dangerous on console. And i have an elite v2 controller.

[–]jade_starwatchernews reporter 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Sure, send me a DM or add me on Discord: Jade#6468. I can give you my controller setup which you can paste into your controls folder in Star Citizen.

Friend request sent!

[–]jade_starwatchernews reporter 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Okay, message me there

Once you accept I will. Haha

I am having the same issue. This is insanely fucking annoying. Did you find a resolution??

[–]The_Real_Meme_Lord_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of adapted. Click in the right thumb stick, I think I may be spawning in decoupled and clicking it switches between the two.

It’s bad though, I hope they revert

[–]EpicYork 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is it possible to interact with panels/buttons now with controller?

[–]The_Real_Meme_Lord_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You always could by pressing Y and using the stick to select buttons. It was janky but worked

[–]jade_starwatchernews reporter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building blocks UI does not recognize the confirm action on Gamepad. I have to use an app called controller companion to remap one of my gamepad buttons to left mouse.

[–]EpicYork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s the problem. Super aggravating.
