Improved Controller Mappings

🎮 **Controller optimization module specially designed for "Cyberpunk 2077"**

✨ Core Functions

The goal of this mod is to bring the convenience of the controller as close as possible to keyboard and mouse operation, while minimizing changes to the original control scheme. This is primarily achieved by concentrating the main control functions (movement, perspective, attack and interaction) on the joystick-shoulder button-trigger group, minimizing the number of times the player needs to take their thumbs off the joystick.

🎯 Major improvements

**Mobile Control Optimization**

  • **LB Button** - Dodge/Sprint
  • **LS Press** - crouch switch, press to slide while sprinting
  • **RS PRESS** - Jump
  • **LS PRESS** - mark target in scan mode

**Key combination function**

  • **X+A Combination** - Scanner switching (applicable to all modes such as walking, brain dance, camera, vehicle, etc.)
  • **A Button** - Fast melee attack when using ranged weapons

**Scan mode enhancement**

  • **RT key** - Zoom in on target (only valid for hackable objects)
  • **LT key** - narrow target
  • **LS Direction** - Select quick invasion items/switch targets
  • **LB Key** - Apply quick hack

🔧 Compatible Modules

**Fully Compatible**

  • **Kiroshi Optics Night Vision Mod** - Perfect support for night vision function
  • **Simple Flashlight** - Flashlight function, need to install compatible patch
  • **Nitrous** - Nitrogen acceleration system, providing multiple activation options

**Partially compatible**

  • **Custom Quickslots** - D-Pad and X keys are fully compatible, but B keys and RS keys conflict

⚙️ Installation instructions

  • **Important**: If updating from version 1.0.0, please delete the old version first and restore the default `inputUserMappings.xml` file
  • Install the necessary Input Loader module
  • Use the mod manager or manually extract the files to the game directory

🎮Using experience

After several hours of NCPD and MaxTac continuous wave combat testing, this mapping solution performed well on advanced movement skills such as air dash and double jump. The new control layout allows players to fight and explore more smoothly, especially in FPS scenes that require quick reactions.

💡 Tips

  • The prompt function in scan mode has been removed, because the original prompt message is basically useless
  • Complete tutorial information can be found in the game settings menu (after version 2.3)
  • It is recommended to adjust the button assignment in the settings of compatible modules according to personal habits.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
