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!

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.
