Is it possible to add in-game gamepad support? I don't really want to have to download additional software to bind gamepad buttons to keyboard keys. Especially since any 'free' software I find that does that ends up just being a trial and stops working in 7 to 31 days.

If it's not possible, don't fret, I'll manage to figure out something eventually.

I use a controller just fine. PS4 controller, windows 10, and DS4Windows to support the controller. 

I use a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller via Bluetooth on Windows 10, and it doesn't seem to respond to button inputs at all.

Unfortunelately, I can't afford to buy a PS4 controller to have a compatible controller. If I could, that money would go to fixing my SSBU Switch bundle Collector Edition JoyCons, or my own game project, depending on the source of the income.

 I do have a Logitech Gamepad, however, the XBox button layout it uses is different from the Switch button layout, so if it does work, I will repeatedly get A\B and X\Y mixed up, which can cause numerous problems…

However, all this aside, I am happy to know that there are controllers that do work, but am annoyed the only one I have with the correct layout does not.

If you have steam installed see if the switch controller support extends to external applications.

Sadly, Steam explicitly blocks input to external programs… which is a problem, since if I close Steam, (Y) is [Z], (A) is [X] instead of [Z], and the whole thing is very confusing…

Think I'll stick to keyboard…

Thanks for offering some support in regards to controllers.  I'll need to look into controller support/alternate controls a bit as I don't normally test with them in mind.
