Apr 02, 2018  Mrjodicow is correct, you can change the basic controls through the main file but to change things like pause or for some other nifty tricks a third party remapping software is required. Crucrux has posted one used by a lot of speedrunners. Keyboard has an advantage over controller for some other characters but for meat boy its simply preference.

Hey guys I'm new to running SMB and I've checked out a couple of the videos that are posted but one thing I've noticed is that the 'A' 'S' keys trick is super useful. I'm using an Xbox controller since it feels more natural to me but I don't see any way to switch the bindings on my controller and it's extremely clunky to have to reach away from my controller and hit A on the keyboard. I want to change my 'X' button my controller to 'A' on my keyboard and the 'Y' on my controller to 'S'. Do you guys know of any way to do that?
