  I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but there are two hotkey spaces available when playing on console. For those of you that do not know, hotkeys are buttons with assigned spells or weapons which allow you to switch to said spell or weapon without opening the favorites or items menu. You can assign items to these hotkeys through the favorites menu by selecting the item and then holding the left or right d-pad keys. The left key will put a 1 by the item and the right key will place a 2 by the item. To activate the hotkey simply push the desired d-pad button and the weapon will be equipped in the hand it was last held in.

  I think somebody (Alastor?) made a post like this already...though I can't find it right now. Dunno what it was called.

  Oh, here it is.
