Using a gamepad on a PC

I was wondering if it was possible to use a gamepad to play the game on a PC, and if so, how I would go about getting it to work in the game?

    Yes, there are a variety of programs out there that will convert your gamepad movement and buttons into keypresses. However, note that analog input from a gamepad can only be converted into a digital on/off signal, so you will not walk slower if the joystick is only moved a tiny amount.

    A quick google search for "gamepad to keyboard" will list a bunch of utilities, such as XPadder, JoyToKey, Joysticker and more. I don't use these types of utilities myself, but I do know XPadder is often recommended! :)

    Check out the Steam Controller. Best thing I've ever bought!

    This information was useful for me too, thank you!
