Is there a way to use the Nintendo switch pro controller? I did test this by adding blizzard as a non steam game on steam and making it so the switch controller keybinds are Xbox to play overwatch 1 in 2019, but while the keybinds showed Xbox keybinds, it registered as m&k at the same time. Wondering if I can just play it without adding it to steam and if not then if there are any issues by doing the steam way

I do not have a Nintendo controller and do not believe it will work natively with Diablo IV on PC, but it is my understanding that that method or similar method through Steam does work fine with the game. Hopefully someone has a better more definitive answer for you.

The main reason I would use controller is I get sick of losing my curser and targeting a wrong area, I wish there was an ingame cursor colour change. I have my cursor on max size and even then the white blends in with game mechanics. Controller may work better with classes that keep it close and personal maybe a barb would be great.

I hear that, there are times when it is hard enough to see my character. I have not gotten to end game with my Barb build, but have had no issues with a spin to win build so far, and the Sorc has been fine depending on the build. On other ARPGS I have used the free YoloMouse from GitHub, Dragonrise Games and now on Steam for a fee. I have read posts that it works with some setup but have not tried it myself in Diablo IV. Thank you for commenting and good gaming.

Basically anything that requires you to target ground doesn't work on controller(meteor, blizzard, firewall, teleport, leap, etc). This game really needs to add controller manual aim. Apparently Diablo Immortal has it so it's kinda baffling that D4 is inferior in this regard.

The controller support is excellent for the game, and you will have fun with a controller. It will attack in whichever direction you are looking, there is some level of auto aim. If you use the targeting system you will see what you are aimed at with a red symbol, and you can cycle through the targets using the right analog and then lock onto a target using R3, so you basically never miss.

I was all about the controller until I tried to trample with the Druid and stopped immediately at the first enemy I hit… I don’t know wtf the devs were thinking making movement abilities auto lock the closest enemy with no way of turning it off.

I use it mostly to begin attacks and then as an escape, on the attack I know where it will go because of the target lock, even if it is not locked on, and as an escape it is just the direction that looks safest, there have been times it has auto aimed me to a less than ideal location.

How someone can play a hack n slash game with a controller on PC is totally beyond me, it is unprecise and clunky.
