Playing with a controller?

[bigglebojiggle]

So I'm trying to play the game with a 360 controller following along with this:

(it's a video that describes how to use JoytoKey and ControlMK)

All that happens for me is my character randomly punches the air when I try to use the right analog, not quite sure what I've done wrong (which should be nothing), has anybody here had any luck paying with a 360 controller?

The PC version of Oblivion was never designed to work with a controller.  Some folks have "rigged" it to work, but it is buggy and inconsistent.  Remember, this is a VERY old game and  you are likely to have frequent bugs and or crashes with a controller.

Why play it with a controller anyway? Keyboard and mouse makes for a much better experience? 

 

But, agreed. Oblivion is an old game now, it didn't have controller support like new games do.

I'm not sure I can do it with a keyboard and mouse since I grew up with consoles, and have only been playing PC games since last year when I built my PC. I also have my PC connected to the TV so that would make the whole thing pretty uncomfortable. Starting to think I may have wasted 15 bucks, we'll see what I can do

Now's the time to learn!

Back when I played Oblivion on the PC, I used an Xbox 360 Controller with an Xpadder config.  I didn't have any major issues with the setup as I recall.

From what I've seen, even the more successful modified 360 controller setups for Oblivion have some errors. While I'd love to experience modded Oblivion with a controller, I know that the PC version came out before gamepad usage was common.

 

Though I'd like to try the Xpadder option Zombi mentioned.
