My goal is strictly pve.
To be honest, it might really suck for you depending on how you play. When you think about how you do movement and camera operations in the game, the trouble in translating that to a controller comes up (it's really the panning of the camera from the mouse that you end up missing). You really have to think about how much stuff you need to use. I had something like 12 buttons (besides the two sticks and Dpad) on my 3rd party PS2 controller and it still was hard deciding what to assign. You'll pretty much end up using combos of buttons to achieve enough mapping. And as mentioned, the camera/movement will never be as good as using a mouse+keyboard. Also, depending on what software you use, you might have to hide it from the Warden.
