Controls in Genshin Impact differs depending on the device. Mobile devices are primarily touch based controls (with one instance of Gyro input), PlayStation has controller inputs, and PC has mouse and keyboard inputs, or controller inputs. The changing of controls can be done from the Settings menu.

PC and Controllers[]

add Xbox and PS controls for the listed unlisted functions (assuming you can't rebind them, but do fix that too if that happens to not be the case)

PC players can use either the standard Keyboard Inputs or the Controller Inputs. Touch is not supported on PC. Plugging in any brand of controller (Xbox and PlayStation) will result in a map of the respective controller, with critical actions mapped to each button. However, connecting a Switch controller to the PC doesn't seem to be fully supported, even though the game detects it as a controller.

If the player disconnects the controller without swapping back to Keyboard Inputs, the game will require them to either reconnect the controller or restart the game to exit the controller control scheme.

Any DirectInput (or XInput) supported HID game controller (USB or Bluetooth) will be recognized by the game as a valid controller, as the game runs on DirectX.

As with all types of controls, the camera sensitivity can be adjusted for normal gameplay as well as Aimed Shot Mode. However, the game does not have the invert Y-axis option on mouse and keyboard. Inverting the Y-axis in addition to the X-axis is possible only on a controller.

PlayStation consoles share the same controls as when using a PlayStation controller with PC.

Mobile[]

Mobile devices lack buttons to be mapped to certain functionality; all actions are done by tapping the screen. However, there is an extra feature called "Gyro Aiming." With Gyro Aiming enabled, you can use the gyroscope in your mobile device for Aimed Shot.

The following controls can be changed under Settings.
