There has now been a gaming controller released for WOW, whether or not it is a good idea for gamers is a whole different story!

The WoW360 Router executable follows a fairly simple concept. Because World of Warcraft does not have native support for game controllers, support must be faked using the available keyboard and mouse inputs. That is just what we do.

There’s a bit more logic involved, but essentially, this program just translates the movements and button strokes coming in from the controller into mouse movements and keystrokes. The UI Mod is basically just glue to make all this seem more transparent and less awkward. As you may have guessed/seen, however, some amount of tomfollery cannot be avoided, resulting in a less-than-optimal solution, but one which I still think is fun, if not alltogether practical. The intention of this program is not to replace the Blizzard UI, nor is it really to provide a complete alternate playstyle. It was created one weekend as a little gee-wiz program and nothing more.

The only reason I bothered to polish it as much as I have is because a few other people have expressed interest in using it and I’m anal-retentive like that. Hopefully, if this catches on, it will give Blizzard an incentive to provide some form of native support which –one would hope– would be less hackish… but I wouldn’t hold my breath. ~ David Nikdel
