STAR WARS: Squadrons

Star Wars: Squadrons supports controller and joystick controls. Below you will find the controls for both the Keyboard/Mouse input and joysticks.

Note: When using HOTAS on PC, players will need to manually map controls to suit specific hardware. Testing has seen compatible results with the following joysticks: Saitek x52 and Saitek X-55 Rhino, Thrustmaster t1600M, or Logitech Extreme 3D Pro (default mapping is ideal for this model)
