This article will walk you through some of the most common problems you might encounter when trying to play the game with a controller. We’ll go over some of the best ways to fix your controller’s button prompts, as well as how to use vJoy to fix ‘wrong’ controller prompts in game. It will also go over the basics of using the keyboard and mouse versus a controller in Elden Ring.

Using elden ring to modify elden ring’s controller settings

Using an Elden Ring is possible, but the controls can be quite finicky. It’s important to adjust the controller settings for a smooth game experience. There are two ways to change the controller settings: using the Steam overlay or manually adjusting the buttons on the gamepad. Steam has a better controller than other launchers, but you should still use a mouse and keyboard for best results.

First, you should make sure your controllers are connected to your PC. Use a USB 3.0 port if possible, otherwise use a USB 2.0 port. Next, you should calibrate your controller if necessary, otherwise leave it as-is. To do this, launch Steam on your computer and navigate to the Settings tab. Select Controller and make sure it is set to ‘Steam Input’.

Getting controller button prompts

When playing Elden Ring on PC, many players have complained about getting controller button prompts. You can use a keyboard and mouse to control the game, but you’ll need to hold down the Y key to remove the message. If you have a PlayStation controller, you’ll get Xbox button prompts, too, despite having a keyboard and mouse. It’s a minor inconvenience, but it’s something worth considering.

FromSoftware has added an option for keyboard and mouse button prompts, but this is just a barebones implementation. Most games with controller support switch between keyboard and mouse button prompts automatically based on the last button you pressed. Unlike PlayStation and Xbox systems, which have a default mapping for buttons, Elden Ring doesn’t do this. In fact, the game’s controls are completely different.

Using vJoy to fix ‘wrong’ controller prompts in-game

If you’ve experienced ‘wrong controller prompts in-game,’ you’re not alone. Many gamers have reported this problem after using virtual joystick programs like Vjoy. In fact, this software allows you to remap the controllers to the keyboard and mouse. Evan tried a number of methods to solve his problem. The following is a step-by-step guide for fixing this problem.

The first solution is to uninstall vJoy. The joystick application for PCs conflicted with Elden Ring. The only way to get your controller to work in Elden Ring is to remove vJoy. For those who don’t want to install vJoy, this may not be possible. In such a case, unplugging all other controllers may be the only option. The Xbox controller seems to recognize other controllers, but the PlayStation controller is not.

Using keyboard and mouse vs controller in Elden Ring

The question of whether you should use a keyboard and mouse or a controller in Elden Ring is often a difficult one to answer. Although controllers have more buttons than a keyboard, they don’t have as much real estate as a keyboard, so binding actions to the keys is difficult. However, some action RPG players prefer a keyboard to a controller, and using the keyboard to sprint and dodge would feel awkward.

While the game’s default control scheme is a little awkward to learn, it is not impossible to fix with the use of a keyboard and mouse. Just make sure you have the right controls for the game. Some players are reporting that it is more convenient to use a keyboard and mouse for Elden Ring. If this is the case for you, try disconnecting your keyboard and mouse from each other to force the game to detect the controller.
