I couldn't see any option for them in game but i figured i'd ask anyway in case i was missing it.

The other versions are compatible with a game pad but it's not yet for Global versions. So no, you can't use game pads for MS.

i dont think its that much better anyways, stick to the traditional keyboard ;D

Yes, it is true, you can use a gamepad with MS. Me and my friend went out last weekend and found him a nice Logitech Gamepad. At first it didn't work with the logitech software but we went and downloaded JoytoKey and it worked. Ahah It's really fun playing Ms with a Gamepad, when I finally get to buy a computer, which is soon, I'm buying a one right away. :D

well it's a shame there's no official support, but many thanks pollysyllabic A quick search and i found joytokey and it works perfectly, now i can play without having to be so damned close to the screen all the time. :)

whoa, i wanna try MS with a gamepad... How are you supposed to use all the functions of ms using a gamepad? O.O

I just set the keys i need for combat to the pad, Moving, attacking, jumping, special attacks, pick up and pot hotkeys. The rest i only really need rarely or in town so i use the keyboard then.

No problem man, I find Ms is better and funner when you use a gamepad. :D
