Star Sonata is controlled using the keyboard and mouse. However, a few players have gotten X-Box style controllers to work.

Some players have chosen to change their controls from the default arrangement. This might be beneficial if you are left handed or used to a setup for a different game. To accomplish this, select Options at the bottom right of your screen, press the F7 key, or the O key. Then, click the Keys tab. From there you can define individual commands.
