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.
