Borderlands – How to use the controller to play Borderlands 2

borderlands-2

The controller I'm using is Universal USB 2.0 Wireless Vibration Controller Gamepad Joypad for PC, EW800. I plugged in the usb and the computer is detecting the controller. However, I'm unable to use it to play Borderlands 2. Help?

3rd party controllers (IE: Not Microsoft's xbox controllers) often do not work very well with PC games without unofficial software, as the PC often doesn't detect the controller as an Xbox controller, while games like Borderlands will work perfectly fine from the start with an Xbox controller without tinkering. To fix this, you could:

  • Buy An Xbox Controller/Steam Controller (not ideal)

  • Use a program like MotionJoy (MotionInjoy?) or JoyToKey to recognize your controller and map the buttons to controls in borderlands 2.
