Here is a proposal for controller layout (using quest controllers as base since they can usually be readjusted to most controllers easily)

1. Seated (Ship) Controls

• Right Controller
  • Stick: Ship Rotation
    • Up/Down: Pitch
    • Left/Right: Yaw
  • A (lower face): Control Group 1
  • B (upper face): Secondary Trigger Action (right click)
  • Trigger: Primary Trigger Action (left click)
  • Grip: Secondary Action Layer
    • Grip + A: Cycle Control Group Down (wraps from 1 to 9)
    • Grip + B: Cycle Control Group Up (wraps from 9 to 1)
    • Grip + Stick Left/Right: Roll
    • Grip + Stick Click: K Menu
• Left Controller
  • Stick: Analog Lateral Thrust (up, down, left, right)
    • Up: Analog Thrust Up
    • Down: Analog Thrust Down
    • Left: Analog Thrust Left
    • Right: Analog Thrust Right
  • Y: Parking
  • X: Inertial Dampeners
  • Trigger: Analog Forward Thrust
  • Grip: Secondary Action Layer
    • Grip + Trigger: Analog Reverse Thrust
    • Grip + Stick Click: G Menu
    • Grip + X: Grid Power
    • Grip + Y: Toggle Antenna

2. Character (Jetpack) Controls

• Inherits from Ship Controls with the following alterations:

• Right Controller

  • Stick: Character Rotation
    • Up/Down: Pitch (Jetpack orientation)
    • Left/Right: Yaw (Jetpack orientation)
  • A (lower face): Jetpack Thrusters Up (analog upward thrust)
  • B (upper face): Jetpack Thrusters Down (analog downward thrust)
  • Trigger: Use tool (left click equivalent)
  • Grip: Secondary Action Layer
    • Grip + A: Increase Jetpack Thrust
    • Grip + B: Decrease Jetpack Thrust
    • Grip + Stick Left/Right: Roll (Jetpack roll)
    • Grip + Stick Click: K Menu (same as Ship)

• Left Controller

  • Stick: Jetpack Lateral Movement (up, down, left, right)
    • Up: Jetpack Thrust Forward
    • Down: Jetpack Thrust Backward
    • Left: Jetpack Thrust Left
    • Right: Jetpack Thrust Right
  • Y: Toggle Jetpack Power
  • X: Inertial Dampeners (same as Ship)
  • Trigger: Forward thrust (same as Ship, use for analog Jetpack forward thrust)
  • Grip: Secondary Action Layer
    • Grip + Trigger: Reverse Thrust (same as Ship)
    • Grip + Stick Click: G Menu
    • Grip + X: Jetpack Boost
    • Grip + Y: Toggle Helmet

3. Character (No Jetpack) Controls

• Inherits from Jetpack Controls with the following alterations:

• Right Controller

  • Position/Rotation: Player Reticle (where your tool is pointing)
  • Trigger: Use tool (e.g., welding, drilling—left click equivalent)
  • Grip: Secondary Action Layer
    • Grip + Trigger: Secondary tool action (right-click equivalent)
    • Grip + Stick Click: Interact (F equivalent)

• Left Controller

  • Stick: Player Movement
    • Up: Analog Forward
    • Down: Analog Backward
    • Left: Analog Strafe Left
    • Right: Analog Strafe Right
  • Y: Toggle Lights
  • X: Inertial Dampeners (same as Jetpack)
  • Trigger: Jump or Sprint (tap for jump, hold for sprint)
