So before anyone hates on me for asking the question, I know that using a keyboard and mouse is superior to a controller. I actually suck pretty hard with a gamepad but will get better eventually. I, however, am developing carpel tunnel in my wrist and can’t use a KB/M setup for more than a few matches before severe pain starts to set in so I really don’t have much choice. Especially since BF uses more keys than most FPS’s where you need to contort your fingers in unusual ways to reach some of them.

With that all said, I’m sure it’s pretty common knowledge at this point that when you use a 360/PS3-4 controller in BF4, it still gives you keyboard button prompts instead of the corresponding controller button. I’ve been looking around online and see a lot of people complaining about this… But no solutions to it. I was wondering if anyone knows of a mod or something that adds the controller prompts to the game? Or some other work around?

The only real solution that I can think of, if nothing exists, is to remap every keyboard key to the proper gamepad button (so x reloads, y cycles weapons, ect). The only problem with this solution is that I do enjoy playing w/a keyboard and mouse when the pain isn’t too bad… So I’d have to pick one or the other (or have to reconfigure it every time).

Any help or suggestions would be awesome

Just play a match with the controller and you will quickly learn which buttons correspond to which actions. You don’t have to read the prompts at all. Your post title is the opposite of what you want in the description btw
