Controllers and Mouse & Keyboard

Controller Buttons​

Two controllers are shown at the top of the Bridge main screen. L on the left is the left hand, and R on the right is the right hand. Press and hold a button on the controller image with the mouse to simulate pressing that button on the controller. Release the mouse to release the button.

  • The available buttons are the menu button, system button, trigger, trackpad and grip button.
  • Trackpad: the position you press corresponds to the finger position on the trackpad. Press and drag the mouse to move that position.
  • Pressed buttons are shown in blue.
