Good day fellow adventurers.

I just started playing yesterday. I have been waiting for this game to go live for a very long time and I already knew I was going to become a Hero to support it. Here is my issue and I am praying someone can help me so that I can get the full enjoyment out of this game.

I play all of my games with a Razer Nostromo controller and a Steel Series Sensei Mouse.

I got through the tutorial okay but I am really not feeling the use of the mouse and Nostromo in this game. In most games like TSW, my mouse it isn't something I "have to use" to play and in this game, at least as far as I have seen, I can not play without the mouse.

I usually use my Razer and my keyboard for 98 percent of my interactions with the game. So my question is to anyone who has been playing this game for a long enough time to have the controls down to an art.

If I must play with my mouse, (not preferred) I need some help setting up my Razer, keyboard, and or Sensei to make playing this game enjoyable. (i.e. making my look ability bound to keys instead of the mouse would be optimal.)

Thanks in advance for your assistance and I am looking forward to my adventures in NeverWinter.

    I don't think you can bind look to something other than your mouse. I know people are using Xbox controllers and such, so maybe you need some 3rd party program to accomplish what you are trying to do.

    Hmm.

    Is there any one who has any experience in this area? I can purchase a controller if needed for a PC. Just not my first choice to be sure.

    I left this for a few days in the hopes that someone would have an answer.

    I really need some help with setting up the keybinds etc... to make the game enjoyable. I am sure I can't be the only one who isn't thrilled with the controls and it would be even better if someone who uses a gamepad or even a gaming pad like Nostromo could give me some pointers in setting it up.

    I have looked through everything on our side and i haven't been able to find anything that has to do with key binds such as an ini file or anything that we might be able to modify.

    Can anyone confirm or deny if this is possible? If so where can one go to to find the info needed to run a gamepad or controller.

    Google knows. not being mean, just google "[what controller you want to use] pc emulator" and you'll find it. Then you'll oogle or just look on the website for how to set it up.

    Although I would suggest trying to play more. The controls grow on you. Also make sure the sensitivity is to your liking. You can increase / lower the amount the camera moves when you move the mouse in the options I think.

    The game client used support the use of an Xbox 360 controller, but this has been disabled for Neverwinter's Open Beta launch. Basically, it's legacy functionality from Champions that's carried over to Cryptic's later games. But again, it no longer works with Neverwinter, and seems to have been disabled on purpose.

    This means the best way to use a controller with Neverwinter is now a third party utility like xpadder. There is no longer any built-in support for controllers in-game.

    Thanks for the responses. I didn't mean to be a pain. I just have never been a mouse user to control my look and usually avoid games that make you depend on a mouse to play. That's why I use a Nostromo keypad and my keyboard.

    If I have to learn a new style I will. I am just not happy about it lol

    The game not recognizing special mouse button clicks is a pain. I just redid all the combat keybinds as soon as I started playing. You get used to certain actions in certain places.

    Sorry, but I had an ulterior motive as well replying to this thread. How long is the grace period before you can start new threads? It's becoming a pain because I've run into serious issues with the game.
