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

1. Riot might flag the third-party applications you use to bind your keys to the controller and ban your account.
2. The game is designed to benefit only keyboard and mouse players. Factors like faster locking on and target switching are only possible through the mouse.
3. 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.

This is the use of third-party applications since there is no controller support for Valorant. It can result in a permanent ban, so be careful before going on with this tutorial.

There are a couple of things you will need to download first before plugging in your controller. ReWASD is software that lets you use your controller on a PC. It binds your WASD and other keys to your settings.

However, it costs $7 per month, so be mindful of that. After downloading and installing the app, connect your controller. Launch the app and configure the settings.
