Input support

Funnel Runners controller support and keybind status

Yes. Valve’s current Steam Store API marks Funnel Runners with full controller support, and patch 0.35.4 documents Left Shoulder Button as the default controller input for push-to-talk. That official category still does not promise identical behavior for every controller model or custom Steam Input layout.

Field note

Safe checks for a controller or broken keybind

The binding-reset problem is officially listed, but the cited sources do not provide one permanent fix. Keep each test reversible and separate Steam Input behavior from native game support.

  1. Update the game first

    Let Steam finish any pending Funnel Runners update before testing controls, then record the current build number.

  2. Check the live Steam feature panel

    Look for an official controller-support label. A community layout or store discussion is not the same as a current native-support badge.

  3. Test the in-game reset once

    Use the visible control settings and try Reset to Default once. If the bindings do not change, treat that as the documented issue instead of repeatedly overwriting controls.

  4. Restart before the next comparison

    As a low-risk general check, close the game, reconnect one controller, relaunch, and test a short private or solo session. This is not a developer-confirmed permanent fix.

  5. Record the exact input path

    Note the controller model, whether Steam Input is enabled, which action fails, and whether keyboard and mouse still respond.

Field note

Avoid overclaiming compatibility

Steam Input is a separate layer

A community or custom Steam Input layout can map controls without proving full native support in the game.

One controller is not every controller

A working Xbox, PlayStation, or generic controller report does not establish universal compatibility.

One documented binding is not full support

A shoulder-button input for voice chat does not prove every action or controller model works natively.
