  1. Unplug all unnecessary devices – this method works also if your controller is not responding at all in the game. Many people say that other devices were responsible for the non-functioning hardware. For example, a connected gamepad while they wanted to play on a keyboard. It works similarly with controllers, check if you have any HOTAS plugged in. Don't just turn them off - disconnect them completely!
  2. Reset the game – I'm sure many of you may have already tried this method, which is why you are here, however some players claim that resetting the production a few times enabled them to use their default controller again. Also reset Steam.
  3. Unplug your keyboard before starting the game – this method can supposedly help too, if you plug it back in already when controlling Isaac.
  4. Drivers – this comes up in every guide, but it's always worth remembering to have up-to-date drivers.
  5. Reset your computer – sometimes the simplest methods are the best.
  6. Use wired controller – in case of problems, it is worth trying to use a cable to connect.
