After recording I was still thinking about the analog inputs and how I hate the touchpad for them and then it occurred to me I do have the analog sticks; gets a bit touchy if I try mapping stuff to all four directions on the a sticks but it's pretty solid if I just have two on there, so here's what I've got set now in my DS4Windows Angband auto-profile:
d-pad
h (left; character screen info toggle)
j (down)
k (up)
l (right)
face
[] = Tab (shoot)
X = Enter
O = Esc
/\ = , (activate run)
shoulder
L1 = e (equipment)
L2 = g (get)
R1 = i (inventory)
R2 = d (drop)
analog sticks
L-up = y (confirm; move up-left)
L-down = b (move down-left)
R-up = u (move up-right)
R-down = n (move down-right)
L3 = W (scroll map)
R3 = C (character screen)
other
Start = r (read)
Select = x (examine)
Touch edge = . (pass turn)
Touch right = 4 (numeric)
Touch left = * (target; all)
PS = R,&,Enter (rest as needed)
Might work?
W, C, * and maybe even . are probably not vital to have on there, so I've got some inputs to work with if I find there are a few other commands I'd rather have. | for Quiver access from Equipment screen? Oh wait | is available from the Enter menu! Cool. (Oh yeah that one I'd been thinking I needed early on was I think ^p for the log but that's in the Enter menu as well. : ))
Even without (most) diagonal inputs it went a lot better than I'd thought it would, didn't feel clunky like it did with the arcade stick. ; ) Starting to think this might work out! = oo = DDD
That gang of thieves didn't SEEM like a threat level 9 but ended up almost killing me to death with slings, I guess, when I didn't think they were posing a physical threat. = o And they sure were annoying! ; D
