The available buttons on the Xbox Controller are:

Joy1 = Start

Joy2 = Back

Joy3 / Lstick = Left thumb depress

Joy4 / Rstick = Right thumb depress

Joy5 / LB = Left Bumper

Joy6 / RB = Right Bumper

Joy7 / Ltrigger = Left Trigger

Joy8 / Rtrigger = Right Trigger

Joy9 / Ab = A Button

Joy10 / Bb = B Button

Joy11 / Xb = X Button

Joy12 / Yb = Y Button

Lstick_(up/down/left/right)

Rstick_(up/down/left/right)

Joypad_(up/down/left/right)

Combinations of buttons are possible, and just require a + sign with no spaces

e.g. Joy7+Xb, Joypad_right+Yb.

* Not sure about 3-button combos.

To see what command you need to bind a specific power, if you go to the Options > Key Binds menu and hover your mouse over a command it will bring up a box indicating the command line you need to enter.

 

The basic binding command is /bind <command> <condition> which is typed into your chat window.

Camera Controls:

There are several options here, but the two I find myself trying are

Free Camera (left stick controls movement, right stick controls camera), or

Follow Target + Tab Selects Offscreen Targets (left stick controls ship, right stick freed up for my shields. Camera automatically pans to face the selected target, so can make maneuvering a bit tricky at times)

Tray Bindings:

Tray 1 = 1 to -

Tray 2 = Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+-

Tray 3 = Alt+1 to Alt+-

Tray 1 = +TrayExecByTray 0 <button>

Tray 2 = +TrayExecByTray 1 <button>

Tray 3 = +TrayExecByTray 2 <button>

BO powers don't seem to be bound to a keypress by default in Live, so you have to add them to an actionbar and then map that button to a keypress. (Press P to bring up the powers list, and drag the icon into an empty button slot).

My bindings for Space are:

/bind Yb throttleadjust .25 (increase throttle)

/bind Ab throttleadjust -.25 (decrease throttle/ reverse)

NOTE: you can change the throttle number for finer control. So .20 or even .10 would be possible.

/bind Bb GenSendMessage Throttle_FullImpulse_Button FullThrottle (full impulse)

/bind Xb GenSendMessage HUD_Root FireAll (fire all weapons)

/bind Joy8+Xb genbuttonclick powerlevel_preset_0 (power preset Attack)

/bind Joy8+Yb genbuttonclick powerlevel_preset_1 (power preset Defense)

/bind Joy8+Bb genbuttonclick powerlevel_preset_2 (power preset Speed)

/bind Joy8+Ab genbuttonclick powerlevel_preset_3 (power preset Aux.)

/bind Rstick_up +Power_Exec Reroute_Shields_Forward

/bind Rstick_down +Power_Exec Reroute_Shields_Rear

/bind Rstick_left +Power_Exec Reroute_Shields_Left

/bind Rstick_right +Power_Exec Reroute_Shields_Right

/bind Joy7+Xb +TrayExecByTray 2 0(BO power 1)

/bind Joy7+Yb +TrayExecByTray 2 1 (BO power 2)

/bind Joy7+Bb +TrayExecByTray 2 2 (BO power 3)

/bind Joy7+Ab +TrayExecByTray 2 3 (BO power 4)

/bind Joypad_up InteractWindow (interact button)

Ground commands are very similar, but there aren't as many options

Commands you may find useful to add are

/bind <key> ++run (one click toggles a full run cycle)

/bind <key> ++aim (click toggles aim mode on and off)

/bind <key> GenSendMessage Inventory_Root SwitchActiveWeapon (swaps weapons)

/bind <key> +roll (tapping Lstick twice will roll you in the appropriate direction, but I like to keep a second single button ready just incase )

Saving your Keybind settings:

When you have the bindings the way you like them, make sure to save the config.

Use /bind_save_file <filename> and /bind_load_file <filename> to save having to type them in for every character

NOTE: you need 2 seperate keybind lists. One for Ground, one Space. All /bind commands are local to that one list, so my /bind Joypad_up InteractWindow has to be in both.
