Diablo 2 for X360 gamepad.
Made a set for Lord of Destruction when you import it just read it over not too hard to get grips with it. this is made assuming you have all the default settings in your controls in game.


(la_de_longe made one already but i didn't like his layout so i started from scratch using the game as a reference)
Hello again, I found myself wanting to play this old game again but cannot stand using a mouse for this game so I made myself a PIN for this game as well for the PS2 Controller. I mapped as many buttons as possible and also changed the speed of movement of the mouse slightly so it is a bit easier to control. This works on default button layout since you cant change any of the buttons in the game anyways, lol. Below is the PS2 Button Configuration that I did.

Left Analog Stick = Moves the mouse on screen
Right Analog Stick = Quick Select #1-4 (Up=1,Left=2,Right=3,Down=4)
L1 = Quick Select #5
L2 = Quick Select #6
R2 = Quick Select #7
D-Pad = D-Pad ---> No Change (ex. D-Pad Up is still Up..etc.)

X Button = Move/Attack
O Button = Cast Spell
SQUARE = Inventory
TRIANGLE = Spell Select

R1 = Char. Stats Screen
L3 = Quest Log
R3 = Spell Book

Start = Menu
Select = Auto Map

This works perfectly for BOTH Diablo and Diablo: Hellfire! Have fun!

Let me know if ya guys like it. If there is any way to improve on it please let me know what changes need to be done. I want to use the digital pad for #1-4 and then 5-8 when using shift, but I dont know how to set the commands for shift keys.

New version below, I fixed the buttons repeating if being held down, and I also took out the enter key combo with left mouse click so that dragging the skull in the menu (music/sound/gamma) wont freak out anymore. When I figure out how to use shift keys then I can re-add the ENTER key to the button layout. Cid any help here?
Blizzard has been talking about playing Diablo III with a controller and how good it feels for some time now, most likely due to its inevitable console port. Why wait for Blizzard to (maybe) patch controller support into the game? My .pin supports full range of movement on the Left Stick using the mouse spring function and it works like a charm for true click-free movement. Controlling movement this way also means that there doesn't need to be a button assigned for Mouse 1 because any time you press the stick in any direction Mouse 1 is already being pressed and held. So now the "stand your ground" button (L Shift) turns into your fire key. Pull the Right Trigger and push the Left Stick in the general direction of the bad guys and your character will stop in their tracks and start attacking anything in their path. This layout was put together to play with my witch doctor, how it will work for other champions remains to be seen but I would imagine it will work with little trouble. This layout doesn't really work in the menus, but I prefer to use my mouse in the menus anyway. Over the next couple days I'm going to add some more commands as well as force feedback for each individual skill button (1-4) to give each of them their own unique rumble when fired so you have some tactile feedback when firing off your spells. Blizzard was right, it does feel great!

Update: I went back in an added all the remaining commands including the emotes. Now everything available to you on your KB/M should be available to you on your controller.
I spent the last couple of days tweaking this profile and I think I got it just right.

The only things I would change if I could would be to be able to add vibration/force feedback (I don't know how) and I wish that Diablo 3 allowed movement to be mapped to directional or WASD keys. Alas, it does not. In Diablo 3 movement is purely mouse or single key-press driven.

Overall what I've come up with works very well and is a lot of fun.

Here's the layout:

L Joystick - mapped to mouse
R Joystick - mapped to mouse
L Trigger - Right Mouse Button (Secondary Attack)
R Trigger - Left Mouse Buton (Main Attack/Move/Interact)
D-Pad Left - Journal
D-Pad Right - Inventory
D-Pad Up - Quick Heal
D-Pad Down - Follower Panel
A Button - Quick Slot 1
B Button - Quick Slot 2
X Button - Quick Slot 3
Y Button - Quick Slot 4
Left Shoulder - Force Stand Still
Right Shoulder - Map
Back - Abilities
Start - Game Menu
Left Joystick Button - Show Ground Item Descriptions
Right Joystick Button - Zoom
not much here just a fancy time consuming mess on the left joystick for controling the mouse while playing diablo type click to move games. i know it sez vindictus, i usualy dont use that boot feature and just launch in persistant.
