Improving Gamepad Targetting

[God_made_me_do_it]

There does need to be a better targeting system with a gamepad - right now it's the one thing really ruining it for me - other than that I think it's a really innovative system. Nearly every time I die using the gamepad though it's due to crappy targeting. Also I'd like to be able to bind custom keys - for example I noticed R3 was a bit useless too - I use autorun all the time and wished I could just bind it to that. Or possibly some way to control the camera distance.

Does anyone know if the chatpad works on PS3? That may be a solution since you could bind all sorts of keys should it work like a regular keyboard - I'm actually intending on getting one for PC and binding some more useful targeting functions to it if possible. Personally I hope the PS4 version supports the touchpad on the controller and you can use that for mouse-style targeting if you're getting really frustrated.

I would use R1 for that, as I have no use for auto run (it's more confusing when I accidentally activate it). R1+ directional buttons enable additional target groups and R1 + face button can be mapped to other functions, e.g. I badly miss the target the target function on the pad (T on the keyboard) or simply target the nearest enemy (F11).

You can use joytokey program to keybind Tab(target cycle) R3. You would have to config your pc controller to not use R3 though as R3 can not be blank otherwise. There is a bug that makes you have to redo the calibration every time you start up the game sadly.

And perhaps I wasn't clear. The method I want is
simultaneously pressing R3 and analogue-R up-down-left-right (assuming that registers on a HUID level) Thus you press down on the R3 in the down position to target nearest for instance.
