Should I get a USB controller?

Well I really like my aran, but I've been button-mashing on my keyboard for my Aran this entire time (and it gets my wrist sore after a while). Today I noticed a USB controller on sale for about 9 dollars online with free shipping, so I thought about using it to play my Aran. Since most skills are activated via street-fighter-esque d-pad + attack button combinations, I thought it'd be a lot easier to manage an Aran on a controller than it would be for other classes. So I was wondering, should I do it? Button-mashing has always been easier for me on controllers, plus I know for a fact that button mashing controllers doesn't make my wrist as tired as button-mashing a keyboard. Another factor affecting my decision is whether or not Joy-to-key (or something similar?) still works. And is it bannable lol. I remember there used to be huge discussions about this xD

Joy-to-key still works in my experience, and while it is theoretically bannable, you can't get banned by using one. Nexon even recommended use of controllers for DFO.

you can use a standard ps3 or 360 controller with xpadder if u have one from you console then you won't need to buy anything extra since the charging cable for ps3 and 360(i think) controllers is usb

I thought it would just be way too many skills and pots to map out on one controller.

[quote] BladexofxAwe : I thought it would just be way too many skills and pots to map out on one controller. [/quote] Yeah I thought it'd be like that too for other classes, but since Arans only have a few skills that have to be activated with a designated key (combo means we do directions then attack button), I thought it'd be easier. Guess I'm getting a controller then Thanks everyone, you're probably saving me from carpal tunnel later on ;O
