===Joining friends game forces to use keyboard===

Game is designed to use input device you are using and locks to it outside main menu. When joining friends game via steam overlay and clicking invitation game locks itself to keyboard and you have to return back to main menu to change back to controller.

Workaround for this is to start steam in big picture mode so you can select invitation with controller. You may also try to join friends game via matchmaking.
