Using ps4 controller but showing xbox buttons

The steam version of the game does not have any controller layout other than xbox. I have tried ps4 controller and switch pro controller but both seem to have the same result which is showing the xbox buttons on the screen and showing the xbox controller in the controller tab in options menu.

I cannot play with a controller in this situation, it is very disorienting and unpleasant to play with different layouts. I do not own any xbox controllers and do not want to buy one to play one game only.

I do believe that this is a deal breaker for many people.

I hope that it is a bug on my side but the support guy told me that there is little to no support for controllers on pc.

  • Hi @EA_Illium ,

    So I have went through those steps provided, so that Steam recognizes the controller as a PS4 controller and in Steam, it gives me prompts in playstation buttons, but in the game it still shows xbox button/controller layout.  I am able to use my PS4 controller with the associated positions (x-a, triangle-y, etc.) but it would be nice to have the game also display the hints/tips with playstation buttons instead of xbox buttons.  Is there a way to "force" It Takes Two to recognize this?

  • I found a solution that worked for me :
    Open steam and go to library
    Right click on apex legends
    Go to properties
    Click on controller
    And a drop down will appear and select the option "disable steam input"

  • Mine does the same, except I'm using an Xbox controller and it shows ps4 buttons...

    So I did what they suggested and right clicked on the game, went to properties, went to controller but instead of disabling I used controller configurator and was able to fix my problem and there's a lot of options so you can probably find the solution to your there. I did community layouts when I clicked on the controller.
