Call of Duty: Warzone is available to play on several different platforms. As such, the game has been optimized for a variety of different inputs. But while PC gamers typically prefer using a keyboard and mouse, others prefer to play the game using a controller or gamepad. If the keyboard and mouse combo just isn’t cutting it, here’s how to use a controller to play Call of Duty: Warzone on PC.

Any modern PC-compatible controller should work in Warzone. With that said, not every controller on the market is supported. If you’re trying to use a DualShock 4, Switch Pro Controller, or Xbox gamepad, you’ll be in the clear. You will, however, need to plug in the controller and make sure it’s working before you load the game.
It’s also worth noting that you can play Warzone on consoles using a keyboard and mouse instead of a controller. The process is the basically the same: Go to Options, General, Input Device, then select Keyboard and Mouse.
You may be thinking: Why would anyone want to use a controller to play Warzone on PC? The simplest answer is ergonomics: Controllers are designed to be held in your hands, and all the buttons are laid out simply. For some, however, using a controller on PC allows for easier gameplay. This is down to aim assist, which essentially makes it easier to target other players.
No matter why you choose to use a controller to play Call of Duty: Warzone on PC, the process is simple. With your controller plugged in, simply launch the game and change your preferred Input Device setting within the Options menu.
