Xbox and PlayStation controllers work through the browser. The browser only reports a controller after you press a button on it. Buttons are named as on an Xbox pad: on a PlayStation pad, A is Cross and X is Square. Dead zones, trigger threshold and vibration are in the game's settings.
Touch screen

- Buttons, thumb stick or tilting the device. The steering button switches between them.
- Gas and brake

- Handbrake and gears
