Black Desert Online (BDO) has partial controller support, but it's not as seamless as native console games. Heres what you need to know: Official Controller Support BDO does support controllers on PC, but its not fully optimized. The game detects Xbox and PlayStation controllers (via Steam or DS4Windows for PS controllers). Some menus still require mouse/keyboard input. How to Set Up a Controller For Xbox Controllers: Plug in your Xbox controller (wired or wireless via Bluetooth). Launch BDOit should auto-detect the controller. Check settings under Settings (ESC) Game Settings Controller. For PlayStation (DualShock 4/DualSense): Use DS4Windows (for non-Steam) or enable PlayStation controller support in Steam Big Picture Mode. Launch BDO and check controller settings. For Steam Input: Enable Steam Input in Steam (Right-click BDO Properties Controller Enable Steam Input). Use community layouts or customize your own. Controller Limitations UI Navigation: Some menus (like Pearl Shop, Market) still require mouse. Combat: Works well, but some skills may feel clunky compared to keyboard/mouse. Hotbars: Limited compared to keyboard shortcuts. Best Controller Layouts Default Xbox Layout: Works but may need tweaks. Custom Binds: Adjust in Settings Controller (e.g., map dodge to a button). Community Layouts (Steam): Some players share optimized setups. Console vs. PC Controller Support The console versions (Xbox/PS4/PS5) have better native controller support. PC controller support is functional but not as polished. Alternatives ReWASD/Xpadder: Advanced remapping if default support is lacking. Keyboard + Controller Hybrid: Some players use both (controller for combat, mouse for menus). Final Verdict BDOs PC controller support is playable but imperfect. If youre used to console, it may take some adjustment. For the best experience, tweak settings and consider hybrid input methods. Would you like help with specific keybind recommendations?

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
