The Xbox 360 gamepad is natively supported, but the implementation is poor.[3] It is recommended to enable Steam controller support for your gamepad, then assign the relevant keyboard keys to gamepad inputs using Steam's controller configuration.
Full controller support
There is no way to quit the game with a gamepad, unless you bind a gamepad input to the Esc key using Steam's controller configuration.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/105700/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (105700) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
