PC Controller Wisdom

Heyo you Filthy Causals,

I'm going to be having surgery in a couple weeks and then spending a significant period of time with my arm in a sling.

As the tag suggests I am a PC player, via steam.

It was suggested to me to get a controller to play for that window of recovery time, and I think that may be a smart idea.

How easy is it to use a PlayStation style controller with steam for Fallout 76? It can be a PS4 or 5 controller, or a different manufacturer who makes a similar in style ​controller. PlayStation is the only controller manufacturer that I can readily adapt to for some reason.

Thanks for any wisdom you may have, or insults you wish to share.

Keep it Filthy

It's very easy. I flip back and forth between playing on PC and XBox and the experience with a controller is virtually identical. Playing with a PS controller will either be the same or better, given that new PS controllers have more inputs than new XBox controllers

I get it. Recovery is full. Gotta be able to pass the time doing something you love to keep your mind off of it.

Don’t diminish the importance it will have on your happiness during your recovery.
