Using a controller on PC will Not give you Aim Assist like on consoles. Good Luck against Mouse And Keyboard players. ---

I use controller and have no problems against m&kb. As with anything, it is what you are used to. So don’t let them browbeat you into changing, though I do have some older games (BFBC2) that don’t support controller, so I have to m&kb. You soon get used to it. ---

ya, it would take me a couple hundred hours just to get used to mnk. if it costs me a couple kills, thats fine. everything else that happens between shooting is important too. plus controller kills on pc are much more gratifying. ---

How does that affect using controllers? I have an oem xbox 360 controller and it doesn’t work with Battlefield 4 but works with games like Dark Souls. My friend also has an oem controller but his works fine for Battlefield 4. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? ---

Once you go m/k there is no coming back. It takes me 10 hours you get used to it. Seriously, even if you’re a really good player with a controller, the average m/k will crunch you. ---

I don’t know about controller support on a PC but I fell pretty confident that consoles will have full controller support. ---

I have an oem xbox 360 controller and it doesn’t work with Battlefield 4 but works with games like Dark Souls. My friend also has an oem controller but his works fine for Battlefield 4. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? ? my xbox 360 wired controller works on pc , but the dead zones of analog sticks are (nice censorship on a word a 2 yr old can say) on pc hence partial controller support all movements from analogs are wonky when compared to how they work on console. Same for ps4 controller which does however move better than xbox on pc… Dude just use mouse and keyboard or u wont be having to much fun! I came from consoles and played controller few hundred hrs on pc and it sucked. ---

I use my ps4 pad just to fly heli’s and jets,works really well for flying,and although it does work for infy as well,i wouldn’t recommend it.Mouse and kb all the way for infy. ---

I was just planning to use the controller to fly because I always find myself frantically moving my mouse and picking it up when trying to make a tight turn. ---

I use an xbox controller as well ,and have little problem doing well in infantry combat after having a lot of practice. That Maddayz guy plays little other than 24/7 operation locker TDM’s so he is not even playing the same play-style so just ignore him. The only problem I have had involving the controller support is selecting equipment for my class. Other than that the game plays without any keyboard or mouse necessary. ---

I have used a wired Xbox 360 controller and a DS4 for PC. The 360 controller maps fine, but you will need another piece of software for the Sony controller as it does not have Windows drivers. I used [InputMapper](https://inputmapper.com/) to set up my dualshock 4 like it is on PS4. ---

Maddayz getting all insecure and needing to puff up your self esteem doesn’t change that you focus only on the same map and most of the time on death-match. Comparing two different game styles means little. God Bless you. ---

The game mode and play style don’t change the fact that controllers are a hell of a lot less accurate than mouse and keyboard. Why do you think they implemented Aim Assist on consoles? ---

Yes, it is less responsive and more difficult to line up accurate shots. It is at a disadvantage to a mouse, no question. It does not mean it is impossible in BF4 to do well against players whom use a mouse after a great deal of practice as occurred. After playing FPS games for over 10+ years my wrists get rather painful if using a mouse for too long. I rather relax and just use a controller. ---

> [@SuperMarioSMB3](#): > > After playing FPS games for over 10+ years my wrists get rather painful if using a mouse for too long. I rather relax and just use a controller. Then in this case it makes sense to use a controller. However, controllers will always be at a disadvantage against any “experienced” mnk Although I have played FPS games for far less, I share your pain sometimes when I play with the AN-94 in BF3 for too long. Clicking more than 10 times per second for hours does that sadly. However, when it happens, I just close the game and hook up my controller to play some singleplayer games designed for controllers until the pain goes away. Bare in mind that FPS games (on PC) are much more enjoyable with a mnk, so controllers should only be used as a last resort (like in SuperMarioSMB3’s case). Playing with a controller when you can use a mnk is just stupid and will only put you at a disadvantage. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/controller-support/104684.md?page=2)
