Here is an Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion profile I made.
This profile replicates the Xbox 360 version.
First and foremost, you MUST follow the 2 instructions below for this profile to work properly.
1. In order for this profile to work, you must disable the default Joystick support. To do this, go to Documents -> My Games -> Oblivion -> and open Oblivion.ini in Notepad. Once Oblivion.ini is open, press CTRL+F and search for "bUse Joystick=1". You must change it to "bUse Joystick=
0". Now save and exit, and the Default Joystick support will be disabled.
2. Y
ou MUST, change the Run control In-Game to P. (Pause Menu -> Options -> Controls -> Controls -> Run - Change it to 'P').
Also, one issue is that both the Spacebar and Enter keys are mapped to the 'A' button, and when you activate a corpse/container with A, and try and take an item out with A, it closes the container/corpse instead of taking the item. The only workaround I have figured out at the moment is to use a double command:
-Press A to Navigate through ALL Menus, Equip Items from your Inventory, Take Items From Containers/Corpses, Buy Items from Shopkeepers and so on. (Press A = Enter)
-Hold A to Pick up Items from the Ground/World, Activate Doors, Activate Corpses/Containers, and Talk to People (Hold A = Spacebar)
You can navigate through all menus, and Journal with the Left Joystick, and Left and Right Bumper. Read the Controller Guide thoroughly for all controls.
-Update-
-June 27, 2011
Added Map Marker function to 'Hold B'
-June 29, 2011
Added Up/Down Menu Scroll
-October 10, 2011
Changed Walk/Run Sensitivity

Feel free to post any Questions.
Feedback is always appreciated.
This is the profile I made from scratch. Its a little like cid67's profile in most of basic controls, but mine features a few different things, most notably, improved menu navigation; ability to switch between menu categories by pressing the bumpers; ability to drop items by pressing the X button inside the journal.
With my profile, you also have to go to C:\Users\Girard\Documents\My Games\Oblivion.ini (Thats for Vista, folks) and disable controllers. Use the CTRL + F command and type in bUse Joystick. you should find something like "bUse Joystick=1". Then change that 1 to a 0. BE SURE TO BACK UP THE DEFAULT JUST IN CASE. Also, make sure all controls in the game are set to Default.
Also, in an effort to avoid potential errors with the configuration of the Journal, I put a 0.1 second delay before the journal will actually come up. This way you won't swap configurations accidentally while bringing up the journal to grab potions or something while in combat, because it forces you to hold down the journal button. Please don't complain about having to hold down the B button for 0.1 seconds. Also note that you should hold the B button down while exiting the journal as well.
THINGS I HAVE TO WORK ON:
Movement - I made it so you can use the analog stick in merchant menus without having to swap configs, but whenever you pressed a diagonal direction it would move over to the left or something, so I made it an eight way config so it wouldn't do that. However, movement is choppy. Working on making it work.
Scrolling - When scrolling in menus or books and stuff, you can't hold down in the direction you want to go and have it keep scrolling for some reason. Working on it.
i took some time to try this program out and this my first attempt any feedback would be nice Thanks

Installation Notes.
To Make this Profile work correctly you have to modify the Oblivion.ini file in order to disable in game joystick support. heres how. (the file is located in My Documents\My Games\Oblivion folder) Open the Oblivion.ini file in Notepad, and find the line "bUse Joystick=1". Change that line to read "bUse Joystick=0". Save the file and exit.
Make sure to use the default controls within Oblivion.

This is a modified version of the offical profile for oblivion. I made it for the new PGP v5.
It is made to work with the Logitech Precision Wireless PS3 controller but should work perfectly with the ps3 controller as well. It is modeled after the offical controls for the xbox 360 version of the game. I have made one big change to the profile. You can now easily drop items in your invetory by selecting the item as in the console version of the game and doubletapping the square button.
This is a new Oblivion profile i made for the XBOX360 controller that has many new features. Have fun. :D

Whats New
New hot swapable alternative Oblivion Profile for those who may not like the default profile. (Hold the back button for 3 seconds to cycle between the default and alternative profiles).
the A button now selects items in the Journal.
You can now cycle the catagories in the Journal by holding the left analog stick in any direction Then pressing the Left or Right Sholder Buttons.
The Wait command is now Assigned in the profile.
The menus will now autoscroll when you hold the left analog stick in the direction you wish to scroll.
To drop an item simply select it with the mouse arrow in the inventory screen by holding down the right trigger. this will cause the item to appear in in front of you in the game invironment (if you have enough room in front of you to drop the item) release the right trigger to let the item drop where ever you want it to. please note that sometimes the item will stay selected even after you try to drop. this is a game bug and not because of the profile. you should be able to press z if it gets stuck
Hey guys, heres the perfect XBOX 360 controller setup
First thing youll need to do is to turn off (YES turn off joystick support in the oblivion.ini file under My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini
Look for:
bUse Joystick=1
and change it to
bUse Joystick=0
And then just make sure your oblivion controls are set to default in the options
Have fun and post up any thoughts or changes that could be made to work better
Hey guys here is the Thrustmaster Firestorm Gamepad setup for Oblivion which can be used as a base for nearly all pads to work with oblivion.

hey all, first post here, I got cids profile yesterday and was playing with it for a while when a few thing started bugging me. so i fooled around in pinnacle for a bit and came up with this.
what’s changed:
added a drop function to the x button
made it so that the left and right bumpers change between the stats\item\magic\map and the left control stick left and right changes the sorting tabs inside these
this almost completely eliminates the need to use the joy to mouse and R trigger to navigate the journal, the only time it should be necessary is when quick traveling and selecting haggle in shops
also the LB and RB are used to select between buy sell in shops
one side note, use the x button when taking inventory from a container
since i didnt change anything with the action\select command used on A when looting with it, it will close the container after each item is selected, but an added effect of the drop command i added allows you to loot without closing anything :) just another way to eliminate the mouse.
its not much but it makes the games controls feel much more like the 360 version
all of the instillation instructions should be followed just like cids
I’ve been playing with this setup since and haven’t encountered any problems.
all credit goes to cid for his great profile i just changed a few things around
enjoy :D

I have released a new profile for Oblivion to replace my previous Oblivion profile.
I was Never satisfied with the way my previous profile handled this game's journal and menus, in addition to some other things and I wanted to fix.
There are lots of little improvements here and there to enhance the profile's playability. I'll try and describe the most important ones.
1. The Games Menu and Journal now are completely navigable with the left analog stick except where the game requires you to use the mouse cursor to select something. The left and right shoulder buttons will toggle the inventory / Journal pages
2. The mouse cursor works with the right analog stick. you will want to use this mouse cursor when dropping Items from your inventory / journal.
Simply move the mouse cursor over the item you wish to drop and press the right trigger. if you want to grab the item and place it in the environment you can hold the right trigger and while doing so, place the item with the right analog stick.
3. If you press down on the right analog stick and move the stick forward or backward, you can adjust the zoom level for the 3rd person view.
4. The joystick sensitivity,dead zones etc have all been updated and many other aspects of the controls have been fine tuned for maximum playability.
I'm sure I'm missing something but your just going to have to play this profile and get a feel for it yourself.
Keep in mind that this profile contains many custom commands that are hidden from the command list in order to keep things from getting to complicated. Because of this, if you decide to change the controls, there is a good chance you will not be able to restore the profile to its defaults
without reimporting it.
UPDATE: I have released a improved Oblivion profile here. http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22497
