Controllers & GamePads
This guide does not cover how to connect your controller to your computer. There are thousands of online tutorials to help you do this. Switch controllers and Playstation controllers will not connect automatically, here are the recommended tools to help you do this:

PrimeHack natively supports controller input with our Controller Mode option, this means you can setup PrimeHack with nearly any input device available. We have a basic controller profile available for Metroid Prime Trilogy, which you may wish to use or view as an example profile if you would rather tailor one yourself.
This profile was designed for XInput, so any controller using this API should be compatible with this profile.

You may view the control scheme in the same window.
It is recommended that you tweak these controls to your liking, you will find individual sensitivity values to adjust, and you may wish to rebind your controls to use the beam/visor menus.
Please keep in mind that Metroid Prime 3 has a slightly different control scheme, it has an added Grapple Lasso bind, motion interactions which will be controlled with the movement controls, and no beam selection due to the new beam stacking mechanic.
