- Mouse 4 and 5 cannot be remapped.[2]
- 'Hot swap' between keyboard and mouse controls and controller is available.[3]
- Use of controller is highly recommended.[4]
- Works well with the DualShock3 using XInput Wrapper. PS buttons textures can be found here
Controller not working
Controller with wrong mapping
- Non-Xbox 360 controllers most likely have incorrect button mapping.
