Seems a shame to get hung up on that one thing (I don't know anything about ER's KB/M support), but I understand. Being comfortable with your input method is pretty important. ER definitely stretches gamepad input to the limits. It's pretty often I do the infamous "claw grip"[1] to get access to both the right stick (camera control) and face buttons (actions). If you can get over the controller thing, or find the KB/M controls sufficient, I really recommend it. ER is definitely one of "those" generation-defining games that are really special.

Ugh, that hurts my wrists & hands just looking at it. Have you tried one of the Xbox Elite controllers? I've been using them for a number of years now and they're great. They do take a while to get used to, but they basically give you buttons you can use your middle & ring fingers on. They're remappable, but I've got mine setup for A, B, X & Y buttons, so my thumbs never have to leave the joysticks. I know the controllers aren't cheap, but they're worth it, in my opinion.

Every time I think about buying an Elite controller and its $180 price tag, I look at the perfectly good controller I've already got and say nahhhhh.

I claw grip when I am forced to both hold the right-most button and don't have the luxury of letting go of the camera stick, no matter the game. More pronounced in this series in particular because of the punishment of death.
