Step 3 - If you’re not happy with Blizzard’s default settings… Same goes for the LEFT TRIGGER - you can give the A button on your gamepad a third function, or even a fourth for when you hold down both the LEFT BUMPER and the LEFT TRIGGER at the same time! All this functionality is assigned in WoW’s regular Key Bindings menu once your gamepad has been enabled with the command in Step 1. This will allow the other buttons on your gamepad to pull triple or even quadruple duty - as an example, the A button can serve as your jump button when neither LEFT BUMPER nor LEFT TRIGGER are held down, but when you hold down LEFT BUMPER pressing the A button on your gamepad can activate the first ability on your main action bar instead. In order to give gamepad players more keybinds to work with, by default the LEFT BUMPER and the LEFT TRIGGER on your gamepad are assigned to function as the CONTROL and SHIFT keys on your keyboard. The mouse cursor will also automatically go away most of the time when your character moves with the left analog stick or performs actions like jumping. The mouse cursor will automatically come up when you open most interface windows, like your quest log or inventory, and go away when you close them. When the mouse cursor is visible, you can use the RIGHT TRIGGER to left-click with the mouse cursor and the RIGHT BUMPER to right-click with the mouse cursor. You can press START to bring it up, at which point the right analog stick controls the mouse cursor instead of the camera.
During normal gameplay - moving your character and camera around - the mouse cursor won’t be visible. Pressing the START button on your gamepad brings up your mouse cursor. Pressing the BACK button on your gamepad basically functions as the ESCAPE key, and can be used to deselect your current target, among other things. These, as far as I can tell, cannot be changed and will always work this way. The right analog stick controls the camera. The left analog stick controls your character’s movement.

Feel free to check them out in the Key Bindings menu to see if they’re to your taste. More on those later! In addition to those bindings, some of the bindings available in the Key Bindings will be automatically set up for you by Blizzard - however, they’re not great and I changed them as quickly as I could, so unfortunately I can’t relay them to you here. Binding your gamepad’s buttons works just like binding your keyboard keys! There are a few bindings, described below, that can’t be changed through the Key Bindings menu but are instead modified via console commands.
Now that your gamepad is enabled, you’ll be able to set your gamepad’s button bindings through the normal key binding menu. That should enable your gamepad! I’ve only tested this with an Xbox 360 and Xbox One gamepad, but most gamepads should work fine. Type ‘/console GamePadEnable 1’ into your chat box in-game and hit enter to send. Since that next version of Consoleport will probably be out in a manner of weeks, if not days, the following is a quick and dirty guide to the current, native gamepad support in WoW.
I’m excited for the next version of Consoleport which seems like it will use Blizzard’s new native gamepad support with no need for WoWmapper. I think Consoleport is an incredible addon, but I just found it unwieldy to use due to the external WoWmapper program needing to run in the background, and the overwhelming amount of options as well as the chunky interface just made my head spin. However, it is possible to get very good at using a gamepad for WoW, and some folks used ConsolePort for clearing Mythic dungeons with impressive results - but it will take a good while to become that skilled with it. WoW was designed around keyboard and mouse first, and if that option is feasible for you then you’ll always get better responsiveness from that control setup. This is a really useful feature for people who are need a little extra help with accessibility due to some kind of injury or condition, like myself, but it’s also really nice for anyone who just wants to kick back and play WoW with a gamepad - whether leaning back in your desk chair or reclining on the couch with WoW on your big screen TV!
#Xpadder bring cursor to center Patch#
In Patch 9.0.1, Blizzard has finally added native gamepad support to WoW! In the past it was necessary to use an external program, such as xpadder, Steam, or the ConsolePort addon’s WoWmapper companion, to control the game with a gamepad such as the Xbox, Playstation, or Steam Controller.
