What games do you use the pads with?

Age of empires II, I've cleared a few campaigns with it! Left pad as mouse region on bottom left icons, right pad as mouse.

Can you respond well with the pad and no keyboard?

To give context I was never a good competitive player, so I'm talking about casual play. I think I'm slightly less responsive than mouse+kb, but playing on the train is just a blast!

I also had to bind other buttons to improve response time:

  • dpad down to go to last notification
  • dpad to cycle between forums
  • dpad eight for inactive villagers, left for army

Then Right Joystick is a radial menu to go to 6 groups. A is select all on screen. On top of that, I binded shift to L1 (the bottom left palet) which can be user in combination of most other buttons I binded: e.g. create 5 units, assign to group, select all inactive villagers etc..

I went through the William Wallace campaign to tune my conf, but I find it pretty good now!
