Can I set up CsGo with an Xbox controller?

you cant play csgo with a controller. but i got an injury and had to either not play or learn to use a controller, so i learned how to setup the controller for the ps4 controller and the xbox 360 controller.

i attached my cfg files you use with the joytokey program for the csgo game using either the ps4 controller or xbox 360 controller.

first you need a basic mouse sensitivity, in csgo its 2.5. this is the joytokey cursor movement at 100.

second you need to calibrate the joytokey cursor movement. this part is tricky because you have recoil in the game when you shoot,  and if you set the vertical cursor movement to equal the horizontal cursor movement then you get bad recoil, when you shoot then move your mouse on the moving target your mouse adds recoil to the gun. so you want the horizontal value large at 100, to equal the mouse sensitivity in the game, and you tweak the vertical value to only be enough you can shoot and win and see, not perfectly itll look too slow for comfort but it is usable.

second you want to calibrate the analog acceleration. again if you keep the horizontal value equal to the vertical value you get the bad recoil again and cant shoot a moving target for a win. so you want the horizontal movement larger than the vertical value.

third you want to calibrate the "adjust mouse cursor speed while the button is pressed". you want the vertical values to equal the horizontal values., why this is is it makes the initial movement of the mouse faster or slower, and you dont want a mouse to move fast horizontally then slow vertically when you move your mouse in a circle on the computer so these values are all the same.

finally how this relates to the rift is if you use the csgo the wasd is the joystick, and the wasd is the left stick, on the controller the mouse is the right stick and that is the cursor. but on the rift the cursor the right stick the mouse its the head movement, not the right stick.

so you want the initial mouse speed to be as fast as the person moves their head left and right, thats how fast the cursor moves when the rift head tracking moves the mouse cursor.

then you want to set the cursor speed for the horizontal and vertical differently. i know your saying the head movement is like the horizontal and vertical both using the same movement speed so the horizontal and vertical must be equal values. but if you tuck your chin on your chest at an angle to the left or right, then look up, the head moves to the center not to directly when your face is pointing when your chin is tucked into the chest.

so the tucked chin follows the movement like if the setting i described above is used then the cursor uses restricted movement and drags the mouse in a curve when its moved.

then you set the analog acceleration, because the mouse sensitivity is used at 100 percent for the horizontal and the vertical is customized to fit this horizontal parameter.
so you shouldnt need to set the "adjust mouse cursor speed while the button is pressed" if the mouse sensitivity is set up right first.

but if you copy this into another controller and keep the mouse sensitivity even though it doesnt fit the new controller then you need to adjust the 
"adjust mouse cursor speed while the button is pressed" and analog acceleration.

this is for a war game like csgo or call of duty, when the vertical movement is limited, it emulates the human anatomy. for other games you can keep the head movement by using these settings but their vertical speed is affected by their vehicle.

i think because the head uses this restricted movement and in games this isnt emulated it might cause nausea because the chin is moved unnaturally up when the head moves up because the vertical speed equals the horizontal speed.

    i updated my xbox 360 controller cfg file. what i learned was i was setting the "adjust mouse cursor speed while the button is pressed" to 110 and that made the gun buying in csgo at round start difficult to move the cursor where i wanted it to go, the cursor was moving too fast.

    that led me to an idea of a test. 

    if you setup the cursor using the instructions i gave you, then to test if they work have the cursor on the operating system desktop move. 
    and use the cursor settings you setup for the game.
    in a small area of the desktop, start to move the cursor a little bit, trying to control the movement of the mouse cursor.

    if the settings are wrong then in the small area it will take a long time to move the cursor to a spot near where you start off.
    else if the settings are right it will be pretty fast to move the cursor correctly in a small area.

    hey my post got deleted. i updated my xbox 360 cfg file, and i found out a test to see if you setup the controller correctly.

    using the cursor setup you made go the the windows desktop and try to control the mouse in a small area of the screen. if you cant then the settings are too fast. probably the "adjust mouse cursor speed while the button is pressed" is too high.

    or maybe if your controller sticks are loose/malfunctioning they add to the difficulty in precise movement in a small area. then you increase the threshold in options and this makes the movement more gross and imprecise. so you need a small threshold and that means you need good working sticks like the ps4 controller or the logitech rumblepad 2 but the xbox 360 sticks get wobbly over time and need the increased threshold.

    i tried out the xbox controller in game and while the game was ok i couldnt use the gun purchase menu at the start of the game because the mouse couldnt be controlled easily using the right xbox 360 stick.

    so i started over and now i can buy a gun at round start and mouse the cursor in game reliably. i will attach the new cfg file to use in the csgo game, set the csgo mouse sensitivity to 3.94.

    the difference in the xbox 360 controller compared to the ps4 controller is the xbox 360 sticks get wobbly so you need to adjust the joytokey threshold high so the sticks dont move on their own without being touched.

    the technique to adjust for this is to keep the joytokey "analog acceleration" 2 for horizontal and 1 for vertical, to control the recoil.

    the joytokey horizontal  "adjust mouse cursor speed while the button is pressed"  has to be lowered to compensate for the high threshold. the high threshold moves the sticks a large margin, the lower  "adjust mouse cursor speed while the button is pressed"  value takes that large margin the threshold makes and resets it so the sticks behave like they do when they arent wobbly.

    i set the vertical cursor movement the same as the horizontal cursor movement theyre both 100 for up down left right. this way its easier to adjust the csgo mouse sensitivity. its just easier at 100 for the vertical cursor speed when the 
    "analog acceleration" is 2 horizontal 1 vertical.

    when i lower the 
     "adjust mouse cursor speed while the button is pressed" the mouse horizontal movement slows by half. so i have to raise the in game mouse sensitivity to compensate for this. 

    the cursor is a bit unintuitive when you first start using it but its reliable and can be mastered.
