Category 6 Keybindings and Controller Support: What Works Now
Quick Answer
For Category 6 keybindings controller support, the saved developer-marked answer says the game does not support custom key bindings. It does offer a left-handed control option that moves with IJKL instead of WASD. Steam controller support is described as a future plan, not as a feature already available, and the reply gives no delivery date. Treat that as a dated support snapshot because the visible thread answer has no build number. Check your current options and patch notes before assuming nothing has changed, but do not confuse an undated plan with shipped support or call the IJKL preset full rebinding.

Before you begin
Check the developer's saved support answer: no custom rebinding, IJKL movement through the left-handed option, and Steam controller support described only as a future plan.
A dated developer support snapshot for custom keybindings, IJKL left-handed movement, and planned Steam controller support. Not a complete key list, device guarantee, workaround endorsement, or release ETA.

- The developer-marked answer was read directly. Current support, the IJKL option, and the future controller plan are kept separate; no build number or personal device test is claimed.
Before you set out
Prerequisites#
- Use this page for control-support status, not for a complete default-key list or gameplay walkthrough.
- Keep current support separate from future plans: IJKL movement is named as available, while Steam controller support is only planned in the saved answer.
- Check the current build's options after reading the dated answer, because the public thread does not expose a build number.
Does Category 6 support custom keybindings or a controller?#
The developer-marked answer separates three different states. First, Category 6 does not support custom key bindings in the saved answer. That means the source does not promise a screen where every action can be assigned to an arbitrary key. Second, a left-handed control option is already available and changes movement from WASD to IJKL. That is a fixed alternative movement layout, not proof of full rebinding. Third, the developer says Steam controller support is planned for the future. Planned support is not current support, and the reply supplies no date, release version, device list, or compatibility promise. If you need a controller or non-IJKL custom layout before buying, use the current store and patch notes to verify whether a later update has changed this dated status.
Pocket list 02
Category 6 control support in the saved developer answer#
- Custom keyboard rebinding — Not supported: the developer-marked answer says custom key bindings are not supported at that time.
- Standard keyboard movement — WASD: the developer uses WASD as the layout contrasted with the left-handed option.
- Left-handed movement option — Available: the saved answer says this option uses IJKL for movement instead of WASD.
- Steam controller support — Planned: the developer calls it a future plan and gives no date; this is not evidence that it is currently shipped.
- Other controller types or remapping tools — Unknown: the saved answer does not define device compatibility or endorse an external workaround.
Route 03
Use the left-handed IJKL movement option without calling it rebinding#
The available alternative solves one specific movement-layout problem; it does not make every control customizable.
Open the current control options and look for the left-handed choice#
The source confirms that a left-handed control option exists, but it does not preserve a menu path, screenshot, or exact label beyond that description. Look in the current build's ordinary control or settings screens rather than following an invented submenu sequence. If the option is absent, record the build and visible options instead of assuming the old answer names a hidden command.
Expect movement to change from WASD to IJKL#
The developer's concrete claim is movement with IJKL instead of WASD. Test those four movement keys after selecting the option. Do not infer that sprint, interact, inventory, combat, or every other action moves to a mirrored position; the saved answer only identifies the movement keys.
Decide whether a fixed preset is sufficient#
For a player who only needs movement on the right side of the keyboard, the IJKL alternative may address the immediate problem. For an AZERTY, Dvorak, accessibility, or personal-layout requirement, a fixed IJKL preset may still be insufficient. That practical distinction follows from the difference between one preset and arbitrary rebinding; it does not claim a specific keyboard is supported or unsupported.
Why full rebinding is not available in the saved answer#
The developer explains that Category 6 was built with an older version of Unity and that its input system makes reliable key rebinding more difficult than it should be. This is useful implementation context, but it does not establish a technical impossibility or a delivery schedule. The thread also contains strong player requests for accessibility and different keyboard layouts. Those requests demonstrate why the feature matters; they do not override the developer's support statement or prove that a later build shipped it. The reliable conclusion remains narrow: custom bindings were unavailable in the marked answer, IJKL movement was the existing alternative, and Steam controller support was a future plan.
Fault ledger
What to verify on your current Category 6 build#
- I cannot find a custom keybinding screen
- That matches the saved developer answer. Check current patch notes for a newer feature announcement, but do not assume that a generic controls screen supports per-action rebinding unless the current UI actually exposes it.
- I selected left-handed controls but expected every key to move
- The saved answer only confirms IJKL for movement instead of WASD. Verify other actions individually and keep any missing remaps separate from the supported movement preset.
- Steam or my operating system detects a controller
- Device detection outside the game does not prove native Category 6 support. The saved developer answer describes Steam controller support as planned. Check the current game UI and current feature notes before calling it supported.
- A newer patch appears to contradict this page
- Prefer the newer official release note or visible current option, and report the exact build and wording. This page preserves a dated thread answer and does not claim permanent support status.

A clean control-support check before purchase or play#
- Need arbitrary keyboard remapping? Look for a current per-action binding screen; the saved developer answer says it was unavailable.
- Need right-side movement keys? Check the left-handed option and test IJKL movement without assuming other actions are remapped.
- Need a controller? Require current in-game or official feature evidence rather than relying on the older future-plan statement.
- Need a specific accessibility layout? Write down the exact actions and keys or device you require. The saved answer covers only IJKL movement and a broad Steam controller plan.
- Found changed behavior? Preserve the current build number, option label, and result so the dated status can be corrected without guessing.
Field questions
Category 6 keybinding and controller questions#
- Can I rebind every key in Category 6?
- Not according to the saved developer-marked answer, which says custom key bindings are not supported. Check current options for any later change.
- What does the left-handed option change?
- The developer specifically says it lets you use IJKL for movement instead of WASD. The source does not claim a full mirrored layout.
- Does Category 6 have controller support?
- The saved answer says Steam controller support is planned for the future. It does not say the feature is currently available or give a date.
- Why is custom rebinding missing?
- The developer points to the game's older Unity version and input system as making reliable rebinding difficult. That explains the saved state but is not an ETA.
