Everspace 2 can be played out of the box with mouse and keyboard, gamepad, and certain models of joystick-type controllers by using developer-made presets that map physical controls to the functions necessary for typical gameplay. Other input devices are not supported natively, but may be adapted for use with the software by manually setting up a custom preset in the settings menu.

Notes[]
[ V0.10.30179 ] The Pitch up/down and Pitch axis keyboard inputs act opposite to how they are named (e.g. the Pitch up keybinding pitches the ship's nose down instead of up in non-inverted mode).
