This binding closely mimics a standard Xbox controller, and adds support for the mod 'Convenient Horses'.
All bindings are labelled in the configuration menus. Note the following:
The only significant difference between this layout and using a normal Xbox controller with Skyrim is that Run/Walk is toggled using (clicking) the left grip.
Fully depressing either trigger (until it "hard" clicks) activates the usual trigger behaviour. If you partially depress the trigger ("soft click") it will have no effect unless you are in the Quest/Stats/System screen. It will than cycle through the three major options as normal.
The behaviour of the right trackpad (the camera/look control) is set to my tastes. If you find it too sensitive (or not sensitive enough) you can adjust mouse sensitivity and vertical percentage in the advanced settings. You may also wish to try changing the response curve to wide or linear, instead of extra wide. Make sure you leave at least some dead zone in the middle.
To use with Convenient Horses, you need to go to the Convenient Horses MCM menu in-game, and bind the following keys on your keyboard: Horse Inventory = G, Horse shall follow = H, Fast Dismount = B. This will result in Horse Inventory being the left arrow on the D-pad, Horse Shall Follow/Wait being the right arrow on the D-pad, and Fast Dismount being the down arrow on the D-pad. The up arrow will activate the favourites menu as normal.
If you change any settings, create a save with a new name so that you don't lose your settings.
Critical Information! Make sure that "Gamepad" is disabled in your Skyrim settings (set bGamepadEnable=0 in the Skyrimprefs.ini). Mod Organizer users will need to set this individually in ALL of the profiles where they want to use the controller.
