Does Lethal Company have controller support?

If I use my mouse, you can see me shaking.

Lethal Company will make you throw your mouse and keyboard through jumpscares alone, so does it have controller support? Just in case.

Those looking to don a controller in Lethal Company are in luck. After you’ve picked up the pieces of your mouse and keyboard, maybe go ahead and try this.

Yes, Lethal Company does have controller support, but it only allows partial controller support, according to its Steam page. But, what does that mean exactly? Well, partial controller support means that, while you’ll be able to use your controller if you so choose, there will be aspects of the game where you’ll still have to use a mouse and keyboard.

Tip: Still in Early Access

Lethal Company is still in Early Access, therefore, it might add Controller Support later on down the road.

This is for the best because, while you’ll be able to use a controller for the majority of your Lethal Company adventures, the overall experience is clunky. For example, when using a controller you will not be able to type on the monitor and enter Terminal commands. We’re also firm believers that a mouse and keyboard promotes easier navigation.

You’ll be able to use the Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers to play Lethal Company. Each controller will have separate controls, meaning you’ll have to figure out what button opens doors and turns on equipment.

Tip:

Most new generation controllers that can hook up to your PC should run with Steam and Lethal Company, however, make sure to take the account that button layouts are different with each controller.

You won’t be able to use older controllers so use something more recent to play with in Lethal Company. However, you can still test controllers from closer generations as I don’t own every single one.

Now you can go forth and toss your mouse and keyboard out the window. The controller master race has won this battle, and soon, we’ll be taking over every other title on Steam.
