How to Play Schedule 1 with a Controller

In an informal manner, Schedule 1 can be quite entertaining when played using a keyboard and mouse. Yet, certain gamers might opt for managing their empire with a gamepad instead. Although the game doesn’t come with built-in controller support, it’s possible to customize one for use. Keep in mind that the experience won’t be flawless, but it’s better than nothing. With proper setup, you can accomplish most tasks using a gamepad. Here’s a guide on how to set it up.

How to Use a Controller with Schedule 1

Users can set up a controller to work with Schedule 1 by customizing it through Steam Input on a computer. Essentially, Steam Input enables you to assign all in-game controls that are usually handled by the keyboard to your controller. Although setting up the controller might take some time, Steam Input provides an intuitive interface for easily mapping important actions from the game to your controller.

Here is a simple guide for all the proposed options, so you can easily associate them with your controller (you’re welcome to tailor these as needed).

In-Game Action Keyboard/Mouse Input Controller Button
Jump Space Bar A button
Crouch Right CTRL B button
Interact/Reload E X button
Flashlight F Y button
Look Around/Mouse Interactions Mouse Right Stick
Move WASD Keys Left Stick
Sprint Shift Left Stick Press (LS)
Quick Slots 1,2,3,4 Keys D-Pad Up, Down, Left, Right
Menu Escape (ESC) Start button
Map Tab Select button
Clicking/Interaction Left Mouse Click Right Trigger (RT)
Right Mouse Click Left Trigger (LT)
Scrolling Scroll Up Right Bumper (RB)
Scroll Down Left Bumper (LB)

Even though all controls are properly assigned on the gamepad, players will have to adapt to using Schedule 1 with a controller. Since not every action can be controlled by a controller, you’ll need to utilize the right stick as if it were a mouse, clicking on different buttons when necessary. This can prove challenging in situations like body searches, where you must swiftly hide items from your inventory quickly.

Apart from regular use, it’s advisable to transition to a keyboard when things get particularly demanding. This is because precise actions like targeting guns might become challenging with a controller. In such situations, it’s often more effective to rely on melee weapons in Schedule 1.
