How to use a controller on Waw!
By Arlo.Shiba
Ive been looking for guides talking about how to play this game with a controller, but they all said you needed 3rd party software or that it was flat out impossible. I knew that was a load of bull so i decided to look into it and im quite happy with what i found!

So here is how to do it!

* Firstly you need to be able to use the Console. To enable it you will need to go into Options & Controls - Game Options - Enable Console.

*Once you do that, press the ~ or ` key on your keyboard to open the Console.

*Now here you will need to put in this Command: exec default_controller.cfg

*You are all done!

YOU CANT USE THE MENU WITH THE CONTROLLER (idk why)

Does anyone know why my controller gyro aim will not turn off?? I turned it off in steam big picture mode in controller settings and it still wont disable it. I first played waw totally fine and it wasn't an issue than it turned on randomly and I cant Disable it. I have console enabled i typed in the exec default_controller prompt idk what to do.

Just Use Anti-Micro-X and map your KB buttons to the controller. I set my dad up just fine! Also, rebinding in game seemed to work but I'm sticking with my ANTIMICROX setup.

You are forgetting one other issue.
You can not double bind controller buttons. this becomes an issue if you try to open doors In my case would of been X which was the control scheme for the game back on the 360

@leevee you could use nucleus coop, it tricks your OS into letting you launching a game 2-4 times at the same time. It works with controllers like this guide shows, but can use multiple keyboard, mice, and even separate monitors for each player

Also IMAO as someone who lived through the xbox 360 era I don't get the appeal of fondling two thumb stick and hopping aim assist will snap on a target (even in zombies), but the same instruction above also work for gyro aim controllers like the steam controller and dualshock 4. Just one extra step in steam input set the gyroscope to mouse aim output and setting right trigger to output a mouse left click means from the couch you have full menu access.

Thanks! This worked for my xbox one controller. For the ppl saying "Y NuT Us3 a KeYBoArD N moUsE". Um, because maybe they're not comfortable using it? Or for example in my scenario, I'm sitting on a chair with a gaming laptop on my lap.
