The menu is controlled mainly by the RetroPad, which is libretro's gamepad abstraction that uses SNES-style face buttons and PlayStation DualShock-style shoulder buttons and analog sticks. The default keybinds for the RetroPad are as follows:

The menu is controlled mainly by the RetroPad, which is libretro's gamepad abstraction that uses SNES-style face buttons and PlayStation DualShock-style shoulder buttons and analog sticks. The default keybinds for the RetroPad are as follows:
 
The R2, L2, R3, and L3 buttons, and left/right analog sticks are not mapped to the keyboard by default.
Gamepads can be mapped manually in the menu under ''Settings'' → ''Input'' → ''Input User 1 Binds'' → ''User 1 Bind All'', but automatic configuration is possible with [https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig autoconfig profiles]. On Windows, all XInput and some DirectInput gamepads will be mapped automatically when detected to the RetroPad using the included autoconfig profiles.
