I bought my logitech controller to deal with that sort of issue. I 
haven't had any luck setting up dosbox to work with it, but then I 
didn't try very hard yet.

I kind of enjoyed it, It's just a bit dated and has some control issues, 
it's still playable, just slightly annoying.  I might go back to it, 
especially if I can get a controller to work with it, and one that works 
better than mouse, or maybe there's some mods out there to fix it. 
After a search, I found some for graphics, one for mouse - but only in 
menus which isn't where it bothers me, and one to make the xbox 360 
controller 'mostly work'.  Doesn't sound terribly promising.

I started up Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel the other day, I can see the 
control issues with SWRC quite starkly going from one to the other.  On 
the plus side with SWRC, it's awfully nice to play an FPS that isn't 
dependent on random loot and knowing how to build your character, though 
I'm still irritated at the use of ammo in SW universe, when have we ever 
seen a blaster run out of ammo?  Not to mention Borderlands is getting a 
bit stale with yet more of the same, just slightly different.

Apparently the sequel was canceled along with a couple other SW games in 
the wake of Disney's taking of the franchise.
