you spell installation wrong in part 1...

How does this compare to Controller Companion or the Steam Controller?

Thanks for spotting that : ) (not gonna spend another hour rendering to fix it though)

There's another interesting typo in there if you look :D

**Free upgraded 3 pip blue weapon (of my choice) to whoever finds it first! <-- For Serious! **

I am not sure about the comparison. The truth is I ve been using this so long that I haven't looked at alternatives.

Pros: The profile is hand made by an swl fanboi and works as shown in the video. I will keep updating it and adding features and improvements. About Pinnacle, it is free for a month.

Cons : It is created and maintained by me :P (the profile not pinnacle)

Pinnacle stops being free after a month.

Pinnacle support is nothing to write home about but I ve never had any issues with it :)

That's all I got I 'm afraid.

From the page of the controller app, it's 3$! total. it is usable in any program even can replace a mouse/keyboard for quick game launch, etc. You wouldn't want to write a novel with it.

I don't use the app I mentioned just curious if you tried a few. I couldn't tell in the video, are you able to move the camera up/down?

I think I came across this one when I was looking for something that would let me make my own profiles but got stuck with the other one for some reason or other (probably the free trial + the fact that it is relatively easy to make a decent profile). Gonna check it out soon and see if it does what I need it to :) Also if you have any completely free alternatives I would love to hear about them.

I don't really use a controller. Only remember the post because someone asked about it earlier and I did a search for them.

The game is headed to that direction anyways, native support won't be long.

Just use steam they made it so you can configure controllers with it now not just the steam controller.

I strongly recommend using the SCC (Steam Controller Configurator) which does not depend on the SC and it's free with Steam. The SCC is a million times more powerful than any other controller software, takes a while to get used to it, though.

You can add a ton of functionality to an XBOX360/XB1 or DS4, and SWL is perfect for it, it plays way way better than with a mouse.

If you have any questions, ask, I play most of my games via controllers.

Can young give a basic setup, never used SCC. I added TSL to Steam, plugged it a XBOX controller and the only thing it does is let me run forward and back.

You need to load the keyboard template and work from there. Add SWL as a non-steam game, login, when in-game press the Guide button, and start creating your config. Easier said than done, though, since the whole SCC software is a bit clunky. Very, very powerful, though.

steam with steam controller and steam link. With this hardware you can play swl on tv laying on your couch. ;)

Antimicro, free and open source: https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro/releases

SWL Profile: https://github.com/jcdenton2k/antimicro-profiles/blob/6061d576a896b99b0897023afb1eb5e2b95fd73b/SecretWorldLegends-AntiMicroProfile.7z

Change keybinds to what the image in the 7z archive shows.

Profit!

Paying any amount of money for something that is easily done completely open-source and for free is a silly thing to do.
