Setting up the Xbox 360 Controller on PC

Xbox 360 Controller options are included in the options menu, but by default they are not fully optimized and need to be entered manually. However, Team Fortress 2 does includes full coding for the Xbox 360 Controller, although it needs to be manually activated:

  • To fully activate the Xbox 360 controller in-game and to use the Xbox HUD, open the console and enter:

exec 360controller.

  • To turn off full controller functions and remove the HUD, open the console again and enter:

exec undo360controller.

There are sometimes errors with the controller related to leaving the exec 360controller code activated and exiting the game, including resetting the default sensitivity for the controller's analogue sticks.

Your mouse and keyboard will work continue to work while the controller is enabled but some of your key binds may be reset and the Xbox specific 'Heads Up Display' will be shown.

Bugs and Missing Features

  • When using an Xbox 360 pad on PC, not all menus are navigable. This includes the crafting menu and any loadout menus. Crucially, you will also still need a keyboard to access any options menus, the server browser, and to connect or disconnect to a server.
  • When starting the game on PC, you may need to change the sensitivity for both analogue sticks as they automatically reset to defaults.
  • Due to the lack of available buttons, you are unable to use any voice commands aside from calling for a Medic.
  • The HUD will only display default weapon icons when quick-switching using the D-pad rather than any class pack or other weapons.
