Supported gamepad controllers

Most controllers with standard mapping should work with Skydio Remote Flight Deck, however the following controllers have been tested and confirmed to work with Skydio:

• XBox Wireless Core Controller
• XBox Wireless Controller
• Logitech F310
  • Pressing the “Mode” button on Logitech F310 swaps the DPad with the left joystick.
  • If connecting to a Mac, toggle the switch on the back of the controller to “D” (not “X”)

Additionally, you may also try flying with a PS4 or alternative XBox controller. If you do try using an alternative controller we’d love your feedback!

How to enable flight with a gamepad controller

Step 1 - Connect your gamepad to your computer using a USB cable or pair to your computer via Bluetooth

• • Skydio Cloud will automatically recognize the controller
  • If a controller is paired you can still fly using keyboard inputs. If the keyboard and controller are used simultaneously, Skydio Cloud will respect the controller input over the keyboard

Step 2 - Configure your gamepad settings in the settings menu

• • Choose your control mode
  • Configure your sensitivity settings

[note] Settings will remain for the current browser tab session [/note]

Step 3 - Fly!
