PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The FINAL FANTASY XIV Controller combines the comfort of a controller with the multifunctionality of a keyboard. With two analog sticks, a D-Pad and vibration feedback, the FINAL FANTASY XIV Controller is a full-featured gamepad – and thanks to its 12 digital buttons, users can access all of the special functions of the F1-F12 keys directly on the controller itself.

Snakebyte's Final Fantasy XIV Game Controller’s simple plug'n play compatibility with Windows-based legacy games make this one of the best PC gamepads ever made. Plus, the added bonus of being able to use it with the PlayStation 3 only sweetens the deal, as it becomes a viable - and cheaper - extra controller for Sony's console. They don't come much better than Snakebyte's offering. PopZara Editor’s Choice! http://popzara.com/pages/1361/

Well like the title says “Look Ma’ No Keyboard!” And thanks to snakebyte a somewhat new company to the US, we get a controller that takes a bat to the keyboard and renders is useless for game play in the world of Final Fantasy XIV. http://dmonkeystudios.squarespace.com/tgg/2010/10/9/look-ma-no-keyboard.html

No, whenever you have to do a system restore, please make sure to unplug your controller. Especially when you are updating graphics drives as this may corrupt your controllers' firmware.
Once you have plugged in your controller, right-click on the FF XIV icon and go to “Open File Location”. Then double-click on “ffxivconf” to configure your settings. Select your language, then click on “Gamepad” to configure your controllers’ button settings. Once you are done you can either test the settings or save them.
Your controller is pre-configured for Final Fantasy XIV. The programming for every PC game is different and may require you to manually set your controller. Your best bet is to check out your games' forum board for help or to google the information.
