Can you use controller in Zenless Zone Zero?

If you want to play Zenless Zone Zero, there’s no shortage of devices to try it on. While you can play it on your mobile devices and tablets, there’s the added benefit of using the stronger hardware of your PlayStation consoles and PC.

I have been enjoying playing the game on my PC, and my preferred control layout is the friendly KBM setup. There hasn’t been a single moment when I have felt that you can’t extract full enjoyment by using a keyboard and mouse. But you’re not restricted to your PC components, as using a controller is as easy. Here’s how to enable using a controller in Zenless Zone Zero.

It’s obvious that miHoYo’s latest project will support controllers. The game is available on PlayStation, where using a controller is the only option. However, you can enjoy the same benefits on a PC, and using a controller is really easy.

As long as the controller is operational on your native Windows PC, it’s good to work with Zenless Zone Zero as well. I usually use my DualSense on my PC, and the game automatically detects when I start playing for the first time. In fact, it will let you choose which hardware you want to play with (if a controller is connected).

You can always change the layout of the controller from the in-game settings. However, you’ll need to enable the controller first if you had started/played the previous season with a keyboard and mouse.

The process of changing the input method is pretty easy and can be performed from the opening screen.

• Open the game and let it load.
• Click on settings in the loading screen.
• Go to Input on the left-hand side.
• The Input screen will show the active input method (should show as keyboard and mouse).
• Click on it and select the controller from the dropdown.
• Now, you’re good to use your controller to play Zenless Zone Zero.

While a controller works pretty well, you might need some time to adjust to the various in-game functions. To reduce the difficulty, make sure to complete the quests in Casual mode, which is perfect for newer players.
