Project P.I.T.T. Controller Not Detected — Safe Checks
Controller Not Detected — Safe Checks: Check which controller is active and whether the game receives any input before treating one missing action as total detection failure.
Check which controller is active and whether the game receives any input before treating one missing action as total detection failure.
Isolate the failure
On Steam Deck, the compatibility record notes manual selection of an external controller may be needed. On desktop, compare Steam's device recognition with the in-game binding before changing multiple settings.

Update 1.0.5 enables rebinding all actions, including scroll actions; 1.0.6 names default Q for grid and rotation finesse. The patch date and the current source check are different records.
