Controller Support Revamped

A ground-up expansion of R.E.P.O. Controller Support by pacmanninja998, bringing full gamepad play to R.E.P.O. through BepInEx.

Play with Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, Steam Deck, and other Unity Input System–compatible controllers. This revamp adds menu navigation, on-screen controller glyphs, LED color sync, and rich rumble feedback on top of the original keyboard/mouse emulation layer.

Features

Universal gamepad support — reads input through Unity Input System (no XInput-only lock-in)
Full gameplay mapping — movement, camera, combat, interact, crouch, sprint, map, hotkeys, and scroll
Menu navigation — focus-based UI navigation with the left stick, D-pad, A to confirm, and B to go back
Controller glyphs — replaces keyboard/mouse prompt text with platform-correct button icons (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, Steam Deck)
LED sync — matches your controller light bar / LED to your in-game player head color when supported
Rumble feedback — configurable vibration for inputs, damage, held items, item breaks, and sprinting
Deep configuration — sensitivity, dead zones, toggles, glyph style, and every rumble channel are adjustable in the BepInEx config file

Requirements

BepInEx Pack for R.E.P.O. (BepInEx 5.4.x — not BepInEx 6)
A controller supported by Unity Input System

Installation

Manual

Install BepInEx Pack for REPO and launch the game once to generate the BepInEx folder.
Extract this package so that ControllerSupport.dll ends up at:
```
BepInEx/plugins/ControllerSupport/ControllerSupport.dll
```
Launch the game. The BepInEx console should log Controller Support plugin loaded!

Mod managers

Install Controller Support Revamped from Thunderstore or your preferred R.E.P.O. mod manager. It may take a few hours after upload before the listing appears in mod managers.

Controls

Default bindings emulate the keyboard and mouse. Button names below use the Xbox layout; PlayStation, Switch, and Steam Deck equivalents work the same way.

Input	Action
Left stick	Move (W/A/S/D)
Right stick	Look around (mouse)
RT	Shoot / left mouse button
LT	Aim / right mouse button
A	Jump (Space)
X	Interact (E)
B	Crouch (Ctrl) — toggle by default
Y	Use / throw (Q)
L3	Sprint (Shift) — hold by default
View / Back	Map (Tab) — toggle by default
Menu / Start	Pause (Escape)
LB / RB	Scroll wheel down / up
D-pad Left / Up / Right	Hotbar slots 1 / 2 / 3

While menus are open, the left stick and D-pad move focus, A confirms, B goes back, and LB/RB scroll long lists.

Configuration

Settings are written to BepInEx/config/pacmanninja998.nexus.ControllerSupport.cfg on first launch.

Section	What it controls
Mouse Controls	Right-stick sensitivity and bumper scroll speed
Movement Controls	Left-stick dead zone and diagonal zone size
Toggle Controls	Map, crouch, and sprint toggle vs. hold behavior
Key Interactions	Auto-release rules between map, crouch, sprint, and jump
Controller LED	LED / light bar color sync
Vibration	Master toggle, intensity, and per-event rumble channels
Menu Navigation	Focus-based menu control and list scroll speed
Controller Glyphs	On-screen prompt replacement and glyph style (`Auto`, `Xbox`, `PlayStation`, `Switch`, `SteamDeck`)
Debug	Verbose logging and developer tuning tools

Edit the config file while the game is closed, or use a runtime config manager if you have one installed.

Thunderstore packaging

This mod ships as a .zip with these files at the root of the archive, per the R.E.P.O. modding wiki:

File	Purpose
`icon.png`	256×256 package icon (transparent background, cropped from the banner artwork)
`manifest.json`	Thunderstore metadata and dependencies
`README.md`	This file
`BepInEx/plugins/ControllerSupport/ControllerSupport.dll`	The plugin

banner.png is used in this README only and is not included in the Thunderstore zip.

To publish an update, bump version_number in manifest.json and upload a new zip. Do not rename the package in manifest.json if you are updating an existing Thunderstore listing.

Building from source

Set your game path in Directory.Build.props if REPO is not at the default Steam location:
```
<GameDirectory>C:\Path\To\REPO</GameDirectory>
```
Build:
```
dotnet build -c Release
```
Output: bin/Release/net48/ControllerSupport.dll
