Star Wars: Galactic Racer controls and peripheral support
Find confirmed keyboard, controller, wheel, HOTAS and VR support without an unverified button map.
Applies to: Developer-confirmed input support
The short answer
Keyboard and mouse are supported, and controllers have rumble. The developer says wheels, HOTAS/HOSAS, full haptics and resistance are not currently supported; it has no present plans for VR.
On this page
Confirmed input options
The developer FAQ explicitly confirms keyboard and mouse play. It also says controller rumble is supported across platforms. A controller label on the Steam store page is consistent with that statement, but it does not supply a universal button-by-button map.
Wheel, flight controls and VR
| Peripheral or feature | Developer’s current statement |
|---|---|
| Racing wheel | Not currently supported. |
| HOTAS / HOSAS | Not currently supported. |
| Full haptics and resistance | Not currently supported. |
| VR | No current implementation plans. |
“Not currently supported” is a statement about the documented game support, not a prediction about future patches or every possible third-party input mapper.
Where can I find the actual buttons?
Use the Controls or Settings screen in your installed version for the active platform and input device. A specific key can change with remapping and platform prompts. The public sources reviewed here do not provide a complete verified default-key table, so this page does not invent one.
