Here you’ll be able to change various options, which should be fairly easy. Go back and scroll all the way down to Port 1 Controls and select it. I use 元 + R3 (pressing down on both analog sticks), but I can also recommend Start + Select. Select Menu Toggle Controller Combo and set it to a shortcut of your preference. Now you’ll want to enable a shortcut for opening the menu while you are in game. To swap the OK and Cancel buttons, select Menu Controls and enable Menu Swap OK and Cancel Buttons To change the controls you’ll need to navigate to Settings and then Input. If the controller doesn’t work at all you can interact with the interface using a mouse or via the touch screen.Īnother small note, if your controller still behaves like a mouse (since you are in desktop mode), you might want to add RetroArch as a non-Steam game and open it up through Steam. If your controller is not picked up, or if you want to change some controls from the default (for example on an XBOX style controller like the one on the Steam Deck, RetroArch uses the B button as OK and the A button as Back or Cancel), you’ll want to mess with the controller configuration.

Let’s make a few configuration changes before moving on. Depending on your configuration your controller (either built-in or external) should be picked up right away and you should be able to use it to navigate the interface. Open up RetroArch, you should see the interface right away.
