Surprisingly easier than I thought.

My 256GB SSD is full from just elite dangerous and my 512GB SD card is almost full as well.

I’ll have to join you eventually.

I’ve always wanted to play ED with a controller but could never figure out the mappings.

I played for a few years with keyboard and mouse and then with a hotas but never a controller.

Is there a good community profile?

I went with elite’s default bindings (which use the ABXY keys as layer selectors) and changes a few little things here and there.

Right trackpad is mouse for freelook and menus, back buttons are for vertical and lateral thrusters.

I also have a button menu on the left trackpad that’s filled with useful stuff like FA off, SCBs, chaff and similar that are hard to reach with the layer bindings while you’re steering your ship.

One little tip: If you hold down one of the ABXY buttons, you will get an overlay that shows you what controls are on that layer. I used it a lot at the start.

Brilliant! Thank you for the suggestions.

That’s rad. I know I’m gonna take the plunge at some point, but I might wait to bundle a few hardware swaps. Definitely my fan too.

What a drive did you go with?

Not OP, but I did this a few months ago with this drive: Micron 2TB 2400 M.2 2230 NVMe https://a.co/d/22cD4sp (Amazon link).

It was a little harder to find at the time, but looks like they’re just on Amazon now, and at an even better price than when I bought mine (it’s 19% off at the time of this comment). I highly recommend it. It’s been working flawlessly for me for months.

Just did that a couple of weeks ago, myself! Bought the cheapest deck when it was on sale just recently. It’s kind of ridiculous how much space I have on there: 66 games installed, including chonkers like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and I’ve still got like 700 gigs free.
