Gamepads and joysticks work, but nothing is mapped until you turn it on. UQM ships two joystick profiles — primary and secondary — which you select in the keys config menu inside the game; changing what the buttons do means hand-editing keys.cfg in your settings folder, which documents its own format. One gotcha worth knowing: launching UQM with the controller unplugged scrambles or wipes the joystick configuration. If that happens, delete keys.cfg and the game writes a fresh default on next launch.
