So, those if you in /g know all about this by now, but my wrists are killing me right now due to carpal tunnel. It's making my job hard (I'm a programmer), and making my gaming time all but basically impossible to justify, since it hurts to play (literally).

So I decided to search and come up with a solution to where I could use my 360 controller, since this game only really has 10-14 skills you need bound. I got it set up and it works great, but I did have to tweak my camera rotation speed to make it not be stupid slow.

You aren't quite as responsive as M+KB but when it's this or don't play, I choose this. I'm also playing a warrior, so I don't really quite need the same reaction speed or mobility of say, a dagger elementalist. The setup will also handle ground targeted spells, with the right stick. Left and right triggers modify what each button does. The mouse movement from the controller (for ground target + general mousing) is pretty slow, and I can't find a setting in-game to speed it up, but it's definitely usable.

If you decide to try this and have questions, let me know!

Edit: Oh, this does make some assumptions about your keybindings - it's set up for mine, which are default but slightly modified so that B is inventory, C is character screen, X is about face. Maybe others, don't remember right now.

(To use this, copy and paste this into a text file and save it as (file name).xpadderprofile wherever you store your profiles)

Thanks dude always prefer a decent controller setup apart from online FPS.

I too suffer from carpal tunnel that is rapidly turning into tendonitis. I found using a wrist brace really helps with the pain, as does wearing armwarmers for some reason. I prefer the armwarmers because it gives me full range of movement with my wrists. Your mileage may vary.

So I have it in both wrists, and only have one brace. I don't see how I could even use my keyboard or mouse with that thing on.

@theimmortalbum:

I suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome too. I decided this ruin and pain is my new normal. Now I don't even feel the pain anymore. Working out on a daily basis has helped with it too. Guess the muscles help taking the tension off the bone.

Kinda works for everything that's broken. Just decide it's not. It's the new normal. And keep going. Lost my tinnitus that way, after a year or two of suffering a beeping nightmare going to sleep. I intend to handle my demise in that manner. No hospital. No struggle to keep on living past my time. Dying, being dead, being the new normal. Since I hit 30, dying's pretty much fair game. A lot of opium at the most, if the going gets too hard.

Almost sounds like some emo-punk-rock song.

Thank you!
