    Fallout 3.

    I spent the time to learn how to make action layers, radial menus, and multi-action keys. It’s great! (Emulating mouse/kb controls)

    • Holding L2 for sights/scopes enables gyro aiming.
    • X button presses Ctrl and Caps Lock at the same time to toggle both crouching and walking. (I will disable Caps Lock once I take the Silent Running perk.)
    • Holding L1 enables an action layer that changes nearly every control:
      • Right stick becomes a radial menu for item hotkeys, 1-8
      • X presses Caps Lock alone to toggle walk-run by itself
      • Y is hotkey 8, which is my hotkey for Stimpack. It’s easier to hit in an emergency than the radial menu.
      • B becomes X (keyboard) for exiting shops
      • Right trackpad become a a scroll wheel for menus

    Stuff like that. Basically, I have every important keyboard key mapped somehow. I have the E key mapped two different ways. R3 for just opening doors and such where aiming isn’t important. And L4 for when I’m using the right trackpad as mouse for carefully picking up individual items like bottlecaps, Nuke Colas and such that are often surrounded by junk. Same with landmines.

    It’s not as good as a real kb/mouse, but it’s much better than the default XBox 360 controls. Steam Input is so amazing.
