Elite Dangerous and xbox 360 controller

Does anyone know if I can play Elite Dangerous with an xbox 360 controller ?

I have a pre-order for the releae on the 15th December and don't get my Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas until Christmas day and so have 10 days without a joystick.

Can't wait to try this on the DK2

Thanks

This should probably be in the big Elite thread... but yeah I do and it works fine. It will get you by until Christmas Day

It actually works quite well, not as precise as a joystick but miles better than a mouse.

Thanks all

Yeah, works well. But so many commands!

You gonna spend an hour mapping everything to your taste.

How long have you waited for Elite? if it were me, I'd wait the extra 10 days and have the total experience in one go.

I was going to ask the same question. I'm tempted to purchase Elite at launch and I think its something I'll like, but I can't be 100% sure. Gambling on the price of the game alone is okay, but gambling on the game and a stick seems to big a gamble, glad to hear it should be okay.

Yeah, works fine. I actually still trying to decide whether I like playing with it more on my Xbox controller or Thrustmaster Joystick. In some ways the twin stick controller is actually better for controlling the ship than a joystick.

So yes, no issues whatsoever playing it with a controller.
