I like to use my PS3 controller for playing games on Roblox. However one day I went to go play a game and I realized that my y-axis was acting funny. I use Xpadder to map custom controls for my controller, but I found out that Roblox actually added its own controller support which interfered with it. Why? Because I use Xpadder to map an inverted y-axis (up/down are reversed for those who don't know) but Roblox's controller support has the default y-axis setting - and nothing else. They need to fix it so that you can invert the look. Being able to map your own controls would be neat too for those who don't want to use third-party software. But at least just fix the lack of inverted look because I don't really prefer playing with my mouse and keyboard but I have to now only because I can't look around while using a controller. I'm sure there's plenty of others who are having this kind of problem.

| Unfortunately, roblox isn't meant to be played on a controller and console.. Too many buttons to do different things.. |

| It seems you guys don't understand. I'm not playing on a console. I'm playing on my computer. But Roblox now detects when you plug a controller into the computer through USB and use it. There's no way to change the controls or disable the feature. |

| If they added the controller support in the first place then they're assuming people are actually going to use it. And since it's very limited, it needs to be worked on. |

| I know but also, ROBLOX will never get on the console and is not meant for controller support through USB. Also, it's not going to work with the Steam Controller even if you buy that. ROBLOX isn't meant for it, too many buttons, etc. as the other guy said above. |

| It's meant for developers to add it to their games. If the developer didn't script the controllers how you like them, then blame them. Otherwise you have no say. |

And it seems like most of you don't think this already exists: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Gamepad_input |

| It seems as if Roblox added it in themselves out of a game developer's control because it seems like every single game has it. And if Roblox truly isn't meant for controllers, then why even allow scripts for controller support? It makes no sense. If they even just got rid of it in general it would be fine because you can use Xpadder to map controls anyway. |

@infinity,
Actually, I'm scripting things to be used with a controller. For example, driving a car would be a lot more precise if you can control your throttle and steering from 0-100% input, instead of random presses of WASD, which will always have 100% input. |

@ImACat,
Obviously you have never experienced the luxury of a controller. So many controls, but more compressed and all your fingers have access to all the buttons at once. |

| I think controller support is a great idea. It just needs some extra features. If you don't have the same issue as me and/or don't have anything to say other than "just use a keyboard," then don't post on this thread. I'm trying to promote controller support and say what it needs to be better. This has nothing to do with keyboards. |

@gibbothebee,
While a mouse may be more accurate for things like aiming, a keyboard is not. To use gear you actually have to move your hand from the WSAD keys which can be bad in tight situations. Now when you have a controller you can access all buttons at once using all your fingers. You can quickly change items while still moving. I also like the idea of using pressure sensitivity on the left analog. Keys are always going to be 100% pressure, but with an analog stick you can go at different speeds depending on how far you push the stick. This could be useful for making precise movements in things like obstacle courses. |

| Like I said, this thread is for talking about controller support and how to upgrade it, not to decide if a controller is better than a keyboard/mouse or not. |
