Quick Links
Despite still being in early access,REPOhas exploded into the gaming world and become a smash hit. Since it’s still in development, certain features are currently missing. One such feature is the ability to play the game with a controller, which means you’re out of luck if you want to control a funny robot but hate using a mouse and keyboard.
Controllers are not supported byREPO, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t play the game with one. There is a workaround that will allow you to repossess items from the various spooky levels while using traditional buttons and thumbsticks.
How To Play REPO With A Controller
Right now, the only place to purchase and playREPOis on Steam. This is great if you want to hook a controller up to the game since Steam has a special feature calledSteam Input.What this does is allow you to set up a controller with games that don’t normally support controllers.
All you need to do is verify your controller is connected to your PC. Then, go toREPOin your game library, and there should be acontroller icon on the upper right side of the page.Click on that, and then click"Enable Steam Input.“This will now map the functions of the mouse and keyboard to your controller. There may be community control layouts you can use that will automatically configure the controls, but if you can’t find a layout you like, you can always manually go into the controller settings and adjust the controls to work however you like.

Everyone will have a different preference for controller layouts inREPO, but here’s what we think is the best layout if you’re planning on playing with your favorite gamepad. You can adjust these settings however you like if something doesn’t feel right to you:
This layout applies to Xbox-branded controllers but can be adjusted for any other kind of controller.
