Controller support
Controllers are natively supported, including rumble if available. Enable the controller under Gameplay, then choose the controller from the drop-down list in Controls and bind it appropriately (to invert an axis click the red rectangle beside it). You can also enable rumble here if your controller supports it.
Controller Y-axis inversion
To invert a controller axis left click the red rectangle to the right of the axis (there is no confirmation of the change). This works for all axes. To reverse the change simply click the rectangle again.
