Destruction AllStars: Controls - Settings
In the Controls tab of the Options menu, you can find the basic settings for the Dualsense controller:
- Camera speed - you can change the speed at which the camera rotates vertically and horizontally. Increase the default values to 50 if you want to look around faster.
- Invert Axis - the game allows you to invert the X-axis and Y-axis separately. This way, tilting the stick will make the camera move in the opposite direction.
- Stick Deadzone - you can change it separately for the left and right analog sticks. The default values of 25 should be appropriate. You can reduce the dead zone for greater precision or increase it if your pad has problems with the so-called drifting.
In the Bindings tab, you can view all controls and change the button assignments of the DualSense pad. The game also allows you to swap the left and right analog sticks.
