Cool. Good luck with it when you get home.

It's not for everyone, but I really like using gamepad even on my PC now. It just took some time to set it up how I wanted and get used to it.

With the toggle thing. By default, tapping R1 toggles you through each of your 8 cross-hotbars - pretty useless in battle. If you find the setting called "Enable customisation for when weapon is drawn", you can just mark the two cross-hotbars you use in battle. Then any time your weapon is drawn, tapping R1 will just switch between these two. I really recommend it.
