Xbox controller for wow

[freeloader587]

OK for the start get an xbox original controller or something similar like ps2 should work

get an usb cable like for a printer not a usb extender very important it can and will break your port.



Just cut the end of the usb cable that plugs into the device not the one that you plug into the computer off and strip the insulation back. Careful alot of cables Iv come across come with a thin wire mesh shielding (Sharp) cut that off and the insulation you stripped back off.

Repeat for the xbox controller wire

If your doing this with an original xbox controller you will see a yellow wire just cut that off its not needed


Once everything is stripped back peel the BLACK GREEN WHITE AND RED WIRES ON BOTH CORDS AND MATCH THEM UP ACCORDINGLY


BLACK<--->BLACK
WHITE<--->WHITE
GREEN<--->GREEN
RED<--->RED

I personally twisted each of the wires together and bound them with electrical tape each individually then once they were all bound wrap the entire thing in electrical tape

Or If you feel cool and have a soldering iron and solder just solder them together

Once that is finished and you feel comfortable with how secure your cable is Download http://www.filefront.com/15017275/XBCDv107.exe

Install this before plugging the controller in preferably may need to restart afterwords.
I don't have a computer with xp on it don't know if it will work.
Works great on vista and probably windows 7

once that's done download this

then open new

Hit enable for everything that has enable and follow its instructions
Imageshack - 64635161

When you get to Buttons tab push every button including both triggers and click the joysticks

After this is all done hit finish and click one of the buttons on this screen test them out and see what does what on the controller
Imageshack - 35516130 and bind them to a key you want

I personally bound them to random junk I don't use much and I use a barmod in wow that I can bind keys to what I want just match them up to have whatever button on the controller do a spell Dont forget tab somewhere in there unless you want to use mouse clicks to find your target they can be bound as well



Push the wrench on whatever combination is Joysticks and bind one to wsad and the other to normal mouse movments (may need to ajust the sensitivity in game)

Save it when you get it all set up the way you want and your done got your self an xbox gamepad





P.S If you have a free button or just want to do this go Into a key thats free push advanced and Start a cycle Have it push one of your spell keys you click it Change the pause to the GCD or a little long to account for wow lag and do that for every spell you want in the sequance like this

If you don't like the way I explained it don't complain just Google around its somewhere.

So reduce your effectiveness in wow, and ruin a controller

btw Xbox has a cord that connects the controller to your computer which would be much better.

[freeloader587]

ya but that costs money and it docent really reduce any effectiveness for pve but for pvp your boned

Its not like your using your old controller anyway

and It can be used in just about all games

[laecki]

i would have not enough keybindings for all my spells and macros. this might only work for an affliction warlock or something

[boazjuggalo]

typing in black on a dark gray background is about the failest thing you can do... but agreed... this would make your play pretty horrible, greatly reduce your number of hotkeys, and ruin a controller when you could just get the wire off ebay for less than 2 bucks... xbox controller to usb converter, great deals on Video Games, Electronics on eBay!

[Dale93]

With 47 spells keybinded I cant even imagine how it would be with four buttons...

Btw, mind chaning some colours? "superdark" colours is against the rules if im not wrong...

[freeloader587]

Works fine for me and I use more than 4 buttons and its not like go out and buy it I have old xbox controllers lying around and like 100000 usb cables so its just something to do if you got the junk lying around and not using it

[x2p]

OR... Buy a used wired 360 controller for $30. Similar cost as buying an xbox controller and a usb cord without any of the work.

[Thidan]

NVM. This is another type of useage. My bad.

But this is the:
"WoW Guides Gold making guides, leveling guides and skill gaining guides for World of Warcraft."
So this belongs more in WoW general.

[Haaskis]

I have 2 original controllers but bought a x360 one instead to play computer games.. Much easier : P

[InternetExplorer]

nvm......---------

[noes]

shitloadof****.

Wired controllers also work if you just download microsofts software for them.

[lordpip]

also guys if you use a psp

FuSa GAMEPAD v0.2
FuSa GAMEPAD v0.2 - PSP soft - File Catalogue - FuSa Project

And you version linked does not support windows 7

[Inevitable]

I just downloaded the program he posted and it works really well. I didn't tear up my controller like he instructed (lol), but I used my wired 360 controller that already has a USB cord.

I would recommend using this if anyone else is curious about trying it. I'm gonna try it out on my warrior since I don't use that many buttons on him anyway lol
