WARDOGS Controller Settings

A WARDOGS controller settings page structure for controller, keyboard, mouse, and keybind setup after verification.

Quick Answer

Officially confirmed: WARDOGS has limited controller support in the current version according to the Steam developer FAQ.

Not officially confirmed: a complete Xbox / PlayStation button map, a full keybind table, controller-specific sensitivity values, deadzone settings, and current HOTAS support were not found in official public sources checked on August 28, 2026.

Use keyboard and mouse as the safest default expectation for launch-sensitive guidance, then verify any controller setup inside the current in-game controls menu before publishing exact bindings.
