New Windows Version User Interface

[JiltedValkyrie]

Moving the menus into place with the mouse is not the issue. That is a short, easy task. Many PC gamers are moving toward home theater/standard console-style big screen HDTV gaming and I am one of them. I don't have any desire to use a mouse on my bed or on a recliner/sofa. It's not feasible. If I can still punch macros with LB/RB and swap gear using A, then that's all that matters.

I WANT to use the new UI. It's exciting, so I just would like clarification about still being able to use macros with the controller shoulder buttons... and navigating the menus with my d-pad. It is not easy to drag/drop and continuously grab a mouse on a soft/uneven surface and defeats the purpose of home theater comfort. I use a mouse at work 40 hours a week as it is.

To clarify i play the game with a game pad and using my hd tv from the comfort of my recliner, the way i bypass the whole mouse issue is i use a wireless laser mouse, for some games mouse and keyboard type controls do have a place but those usually are FPS types any game meant to be played in 3rd person view i will always prefer my game pad for.

No, I use a wireless mouse also, but it is not very comfortable and isn't entirely practical for continuous gaming.

why is it that whenever a post has a tanaka response, all I ever feel is rage...

I have never seen anyone before so completely miss the point

yeah, even when he announces something that i actually care about or might be awesome it seems he has to add some balance to the idea. guy's freaking anikin, he will bring balance to the final fantasy. (we all know how that turned out for dear little anni)

I use a Logitech Performance MX with a Darkfield laser, unless i forget to charge it using my armrest as a mouse pad works perfectly with my keyboard in my lap for FPS's and the like, i have no responsiveness issues and i do not need much surface area to operate it either.

Point of the matter you should only need to use your mouse once to configure the UI/Chat logs/Widgets in the first place, and considering your preference you'd set it once and then sit back, what they need to do with this new UI is not add the ability to configure it with the game pad as much as allowing you to maintain the same functionality with a game pad with the new UI, you'd only be minus the quick access macro bar on the bottom.
