Can you use a controller in Lost Ark?

Lost Ark is Smilegate RPG's action-adventure MMO released exclusively on PC. PC gamers will be right at home using a mouse and keyboard in the game, but some prefer to use a controller. This may have some wondering if you can use a controller in Lost Ark.

The answer is yes—you can use a controller. All you have to do is plug in or connect your controller, and you can use it for your inputs. If you have issues, you may need to open the controller settings on Steam and play with them. However, we recommend sticking with mouse and keyboard as the controls on a controller can be clunky compared to mouse and keyboard.

There are many abilities in Lost Ark and, therefore, many inputs to use them. Players have to hold down a bumper and then input them with another button to use these on a controller. Players can simply press one key on a mouse and keyboard to use their abilities.

That being said, it is up to the player to choose their preferred input method. Players should try out both controller, mouse, and keyboard before choosing one to use permanently.
