We listened to our customers and we agreed. Our controller setup needed work. We're happy to say that we've found the way, and the gamepad is now a great choice for racing our tracks. There are default configs for a few of the more common controllers (most notably the 360 for Windows pad) but you can map them any way you like. Our apologies for not getting it right last time, but we think you'll be very pleased with the new setup. Enjoy the racing gamepad users!
New and improved gamepad controller
