# Gamepads
|
|
Many players prefer using gamepads (aka controllers or joysticks) over a keyboard and mouse.
|
|
|
|
Built-in support
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Luanti has some experimental built-in support for gamepads but it is quite broken and doesn't work on most hardware. Even when it does work, it doesn't support using GUIs.
|
|
|
|
There's plans to improve this in the future, but for now **it's recommended that you use an external program for controllers, and not Luanti**.
