Oh no this is easy!! Any Key does actually trigger from the controller as well. Just put an Any Key event in your actor. Click the node, and on the right you will get a menu, make sure this node is set not to Consume Input. In your actor’s default settings, make sure the actor receives input with the highest priority. Lastly, connect the event to a node called “is Gamepad Key", and use that to set a bool variable. I’ve been using this setup with no issues for 2+ years.

There is currently no way to get the gamepad type in Blueprint. I opted to let the player choose preferred gamepad labels in my options menu.

thanks man! that’s really heplful. gonna try this asap.

cheers!
