Yeah, unfortunately.  I had an idea of how to do it with keyboard, but it came too late to implement.

That's a pretty unique concept!

It's a bit awkward with some setups, I have to keep directly plugging it in and out of the usb itself. It's also right next to my power button.

Thank you!  I wish there was a better way to do it, but I guess that's why no one else does it this way :) haha

Maybe having a designated button to turn off controls would be easier.

Yeah, that might have worked better.  I think I just got stuck on the unplugging controller idea.

I think this was actually a unique and original mechanic, I just think it was hindered by how long it takes my controller to reconnect after plugging it back in.  Way to think outside the box though.  Well done!

Thanks! If the reconnection time is too long I'd suggest downloading the Windows version, I found the reconnection times were less.
