How hard is that to set up? I might try out a PS3 controller if getting it installed isn't too wonky.

Very simple. You can just hook the PS3 controller to a PC using the USB cable and after a minor dealing into the motion joy program window (install the driver and enable the controller) it's working as a native windows compatible game controller.

If you want to use it wirelessly, you can just buy one of the supported bluetooth antennas and install the custom motion in joy driver. Again, after some minor driver replacing using the motion in joy main app, you have your controller paired with the BT antenna and again, ready to go.

if you want signed directX xb360 drivers look at this post

while those drivers in the link do work, the solution should however still lie in the hands of the FFXI devs for xinput support

Personally, I use MotionInJoy to connect my PS3 controller via USB. The functionality of the controller is almost perfect, but god damn, the MIJ control panel thing is terrible. Pretty buggy, typos everywhere, GUI redraws slowly, etc.

I wish Sony would release official Dualshock 3 drivers for Windows. After all, they make a decent chunk of money selling DS3 gamepads, and I think official Windows support would perhaps let them sell a few more.

Anyway, with this, the PS3 controller works like it should, and R2/L2 is detected as a z-axis which is usable for anything you can set an axis to control in the FF11 gamepad settings. However, the gamepad utility does not support setting an axis to be used as a normal button, like FF14 supports. Additionally, there are no options in the gamepad utility to bind buttons to camera zoom, and a few other key bindings are also missing in the gamepad config.

I would wish for a new gamepad configurator to be made available, where we could bind any gamepad button/axis freely to any of the hotkeys currently available when using the keyboard.

To make an extreme example: If I am insane and want to bind alt-macros to "right analog stick moved forward", the config utility should let me.

MIJ is very buggy and you need either a Bluetooth receiver in your PC or an USB cable =(
And while this is very subjective, I personally find the position of analog sticks on the X360 controller much more comfortable than the one on the PS3 pad.

Either works for me, but I'm the most used to the DS3 positioning.

Bump, I feel This should really be fixed already.
