Now, playing with controllers in this game is easy, but we recommend not to because of several reasons,

- You will have to pay some money for the third-party software called the reWASD, which binds your keys to the controller.
However, we won’t stop you if you still want to go ahead with the decision. Let us look at the steps on how you can play Valorant with a controller.
