Best Controls For Diablo Immortal

Diablo immortal developers have built the game from the ground up, but they have adopted default thumb stick control for your general movement when it comes to controls controlled by touch.

These controls are usually seen in the same genre as earlier games. If you are used to using the touch controls, then you are better off without a controller because you will need time to get used to the new types of control that the controller will provide.

It all comes down to which controller setup you like the most, as different players have different opinions. Some players like to use the controller, some like to use the keyboard as they like to use WASD keys, and some like a mouse for the movement controls.

Diablo Immortal is the most enjoyable when you use a mixture of WASD and mouse inputs, as you’ll be able to aim freely. But when we must look at default controls and how the developer made them for the mobile platform. It’s best to play using the touch controls to make the most out of the game.

Controller Mapping: How To Remap Buttons

Speaking of default controls, Diablo Immortal has allowed you to remap your controller controls if you don’t like the default ones. You need to follow the steps below to remap your controller.

  • Click on the menu icon on the top right corner of your screen.
  • Now go to the settings.
  • In this menu, navigate down to the controls settings and click it.
  • Inside the Controller menu, you can remap every button according to your preferences.

Controller Not Detected/Working

If you’re facing a problem with the detection or working of your gamepad, there are some solutions that you can try to get the issue resolved. While they may not be perfectly well for everyone, they have a good chance of getting you out of this trouble

  • The first method is rather common and rational. You can shut down the game and the game launcher. Replug your controller by relaunching the game.
  • The other way to go is to switch the controller in the game. This can be done by going to Setting > Controller > Choose Controller Instead of Keyboard.
  • The last thing you can do is a normal and thorough diagnosis of your whole setup.
