KEEEEN!!! Joystick and HOTAS support has been long overdue—so here’s my plugin to finally add it.
I’ve tested this on Keen’s official servers without any issues. Keep in mind, though, that some public servers may have their own restrictions or rules that could block plugins.
- Full bindable controls for joysticks and HOTAS devices.
- Sensitivity and deadzone adjustments per axis.
- Two reverse options:
- Assign an axis as reverse thrust.
- Simple toggle to reverse forward thrust.
- Due to Space Engineers launcher being archived, this was moved to Pulsar found here. Space Engineers Pulsar
~~Install a plugin loader (such as the Space Engineers Launcher). - download release dll and place it in Space Engineers/Bin64/Plugins/Local
- Launch the game and go to Options → Controls.
- In the control dropdown, you’ll now see a Joystick menu where you can bind your HOTAS or joystick.
- Firing sounds sometimes fail to play.
- Only devices categorized as game controllers are detected.
- Menu support to manually add devices not recognized as game controllers (e.g. generic USB devices).
- Toggle to switch between button and switch-style inputs (for devices with toggle switches that stay on).
- Save/load profile functionality so users can share setups easily.
- Per-binding sensitivity and curve adjustments.
- Additional view controls.
- Dedicated controls for turret mode.
