2. ⚙️ PC and Steam Controller Setup Guide
· There are two ways to connect a controller to a PC: wired and wireless (Bluetooth).
· For wired connection, most controllers are automatically recognized when connected directly to the PC with a USB-C cable.
· For wireless (Bluetooth) connection, add a device via 'Bluetooth & devices' in PC settings.
· For PlayStation 5 controllers, press and hold the PS mark and the top-left button for about 5 seconds to enter pairing mode, then select 'DualSense Wireless Controller' displayed on the PC screen.
· For Nintendo Switch Pro controllers, press and hold the small button at the top to pair; wireless connection is recommended for proper recognition on PC.
· When using a controller on Steam, it is usually recognized automatically, but if not, you can set it manually in Steam settings.
· Go to the 'Controller' menu in Steam settings, confirm the correct controller name, and for PS5 controllers, ensure 'PlayStation Controller Support' is enabled.
· To set up controller settings within the Duckov game, select Duckov in your Steam library and click 'Show Controller Settings.'
· Default settings might make control difficult, so apply the 'escapefrom.C' setting, which is the most used among 'Community Layouts' in 'Current Button Layout.'
· After applying, launch Duckov to use the controller, and you can change button assignments via 'Edit Layout' if needed.

3. 🕹️ Controller Play Experience and Fit Sense Review
· You can use Steam's 'Big Picture Mode' to check if controller operation is working correctly.
· Big Picture Mode is a TV-friendly UI that allows you to control Steam with just a controller, making controller setup and game launching convenient, just like a game console.
· You can launch it by clicking the icon in the top right corner after running Steam, or by selecting 'Big Picture Mode' from the 'View' menu.
· After actually playing Duckov with a controller, I initially found it a bit difficult due to unfamiliar button layouts.
· Aiming with the analog stick, in particular, can be challenging for users not accustomed to FPS gamepads.
· Actions like acquiring items or changing weapon parts are cumbersome because Duckov is not optimized for controllers.
· However, character movement itself is much more comfortable than with a keyboard, and it can be advantageous over mouse+keyboard controls when using melee weapons that don't require precise aiming.
· Using AZLA Fit Sense significantly enhances the play experience.
· Thanks to the cover, the contact area for the thumb is widened, making operation easier and preventing finger pain during long play sessions.
· Fit Sense is especially effective if your fingers hurt during long play sessions due to small sticks, like on Switch Joy-Cons.
· It also helps reduce wear on the analog stick by not requiring unnecessary force for stick operation.
· The concave design of Fit Sense fits the finger well, giving a feeling of moving the stick by resting on it rather than pressing it, which reduces fatigue.
· Personally, I find controller operation more difficult than mouse+keyboard, but it can be enjoyable once you get used to it, and I recommend it for those who find AWSD keyboard controls difficult.
· Fit Sense provides such an excellent tactile feel and adhesion that once you use it, you won't want to use a controller without a cover, making it a highly recommended item for controller users.
