Dark Souls III: Advanced+

A configuration with some advanced functionality and a better-working camera.

Setup instructions: Go to System, then hit RB once to go to Camera Options and set the Camera Speed to 10 for a more responsive camera. Hit RB four more times to go to Input device and select Key Bindings. Set the Jump keyboard binding to 9 on the numpad -- this will allow you to run and jump while in a menu, important for safely swapping weapons in an emergency.

• The gyro activates by default by clicking and holding the right pad, using heavy haptic feedback to let you know it's working. It will also activate if you hold down the X button, allowing you to accurately throw items even with your thumb off the right touchpad.
• The right pad doubles as a D-pad. Click the middle of the pad to lock on, or click the very edges to access the D-pad. This lets you move and swap spells and items while moving without relying on a Touch Menu.
• The left grip will kick. It's unreliable if you're moving away from your target even a little bit, but otherwise you can dash straight up into someone's face and pull off a perfect kick.
• Holding the left stick and pulling the right trigger will do a jump attack, in case you have trouble doing it manually.
• You have full control of the camera while in a menu, and can even dash and jump while navigating your inventory.
• Parry and Heavy Attack are both on hair triggers for faster access, with a heavy satisfying click so you can feel it register. Parrying in particular is very time-sensitive, so it's important that there is as little input delay as possible.
• All buttons are in their default locations and all advanced features are optional. You can treat this like a vanilla gamepad + mouse layout if you'd prefer.
