Performance Impact: None

in_joystick

Enables gamepad support. Highly discouraged for competitive play due to lack of precision. Only enable if you plan to use a controller or joystick.

💡

Pro Tip

Turn this OFF immediately. Even if you don't use a controller, Quake Live can 'hallucinate' input from virtual joystick drivers (like those used for flight sims or gamepads), leading to a slow, permanent camera drift that is incredibly hard to diagnose.
