    PAX Aus battle challenge setup?

    First chance to a battle challenge coming up at PAX Aus, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the set-up you can normally expect is?
    Would there be MMO mice or just normal ones? Controllers?

    My muscle memory is all MMO mouse so just wondering if I should spend some time on a controller

    Honestly its ex1, i don't think you will require much effort XD

    I think just about anyone can clear it with a basic mouse and keyboard.

    Battle challenge stations have keyboards and standard mice and some also have controllers. When your party gets seated you have something like 2 or 3 minutes to configure your bars and hotkeys from the default, so focus on the settings you absolutely need to play, such as Legacy mode, movement keys, Sprint key, Target Nearest Enemy. You definitely won't have access to the MMO mouse you're used to but you also don't need to relearn to play your job on a controller. If you want a test run, start a new character and see how fast you can change the critical settings so that you can play half decently. Not necessary by any means, but perhaps nice to have, would be a screenshot of your job's bars and a checklist of the settings you can't live without so that you don't miss one and realize it in the middle of combat when you're in a panic.

    Don't stress about it too much; you might have to do some things that are usually considered bad gaming habits like clicking on actions that aren't on the keys you're used to them being on, but it's just how these things go with the short setup time you're allowed.
