Controller Manager

Author: admin 71 views

The core component that manages all gamepad related custom inputs and events.

Manager Workflow

Controller Manager adapts the UI layout to the active controller (e.g. Xbox controller) and invokes custom events. It is dynamic and also supports custom controller presets that do not come out of the box (e.g. Joycon). Xbox, DualSense and keyboard/mouse is supported out of the box.
