Keyboard + controller was tried when adding the split screen feature, but there were technical issues with the UI that resulted in that not being feasible. Originally posted by Raze_Larian:While split screen co-op is only supported when using 2 controllers, it is the UI itself which is the requirement, and at least in Windows you can use a virtual gamepad, like Headsoft's VJoy Virtual Joystick Driver (with the option set to block keys, in order to stop keystrokes from also being sent to the game). The default settings should be fine, though opening the x360ce program can make it easier to test the key layout and assignments.

I've since seen mention of the program vJoy, but have not tried it.Īfter setting up the keys, at least with Headsoft's program you would need to use x360ce [to get the game to recognize the virtual joystick. I didn't do a full gamepad configuration, just the left stick, Dpad, A/B/X/Y and start buttons, enough to see if it would work, and get local split screen going with a keyboard and Xbox 360 controller. I tested this with the original release of the game, but don't recall if I tried it again since the Definitive Edition.
