Is it possible to set up a controler  for playing diablo , if yes , how ?

[Ducha]

I don't believe there is one, I think blizzard didn't want to because of the huge advantage a controller gives with movement in comparison to a mouse.

Though it would be neat if there were a way!

You can use Razer Hydra (Just search youtube for videos, I can't post links yet.)

[Temsen]

You can do it quite easily with xpadder or possibly joy2key, but you'd basically controlling the cursor with the analog stick/d-pad, so probably quite annoying.
Moving directly with the stick shouldn't be possible I think, at least not with an easy solution.

Really? Just last week there was news about D3 being internally tested on consoles..  though they haven't made any official announcements yet so I guess that could be what's holding them back

I'm most likely wrong, things would have changed by now. I read that info like a month after Diablos release. That was when they were talking about the advantage joysticks gave over the movement in arena over what a mouse gave.

Wasn't there controller support once? No wait, I'm thinking of Tera, my bad. Moving along...

Blue response is "maybe", sort of.

what kind of controler

[DirtyLarry]

You'd think this would be tough to use an a ranged class trying to aim. The deadzone on the analog stick would be frustrating to aim with all the over correcting it would create. Might be fun as a melee class just crashing through everything. Dodging arcane lasers would be interesting.

I am prety shure that after 1 hours I would get used to it , btw on mp1 not even a reflect would be problem with 200k dps

The most concrete project to bring WASD/controller movement to Diablo 3 was started in beta and uses Auto Hot Key as a way to facilitate it.

Here it is if you'd like to give it a try. I used WASD movement in beta after my hand started hurting.
