Please keep improving controller support

In steam release 0.1.0 of black mesa, I notice that I can now go into keyboard settings, and edit my controller bindings directly there.

This is nice and thank you for this. However, would be much nicer to have controller keys mapping to be a separate menu section.

Also, in the menu navigation, controller works only when first starting black mesa. Menu navigation does not work using a controller after loading a level.

Please realize that many PC gamers actually prefer to use a controller with all their games.

I personally use xbox360 controller for windows. Steam controller is also coming out soon.

Please keep improving controller support for black mesa.

Does anyone actually use a flight sim joystick to play Black Mesa?

With movement as floaty as Black Mesa’s, why would you use anything else?!

I edited my initial post to avoid confusion

Controller support is being worked on and improved and will be bundled in a future UI update.

What about weapon menu?

While playing BM chapter missions, after being idle for a few minutes, xbox360 wireless controller automatically turns off. It is a built in function to save battery.

When this happens, black mesa resets my custom controller keys that I have specified in keyboard settings.

Will the future release of controller support and GUI include a fix to prevent controller keys from resetting?
