Hi all .... I am using a laptop to play Rust but the keys just don't suit my fat fingers !! so i tried to plug in my usb pc controller and use that ? However it will not work on the directional buttons ? the other buttons will assign ok ? am i missing something obvious or will controllers not work with this game ? cheers

How about an external mouse and keyboard?

Unless you only play on PvE servers using controller is not recomended . With mouse it's much quicker and much more precise to aquire the target. No matter how quick you are with the controller the mouse is always quicker.

Try using steam in big picture mode maybe?

mouse in FPS is insanely accurate, way more than anything else

Edited:

if you want to get serious


logitech g13, perfect for you

I have been trying to do the same thing and have the same issue using a logitech controller. I sent Garry a tweet to see if a controller will be supported - you ever know ;)
