#Optional Steam Radial Menu because Steam handles Radial Menus better than JoyShockMapper

Sanjinii's Notes

To use Steam's radial menu, uncomment the 2 commands at the very bottom and open the link and apply the configuration. Then uncomment the left stick bindings.

This config only works with joycons or controllers with at least 4 back buttons

Name this config "FTLGame.txt" for it to autoload properly

How to Use this Config

Using JoyShockMapper configurations is easy once you know how. If you haven't used it before, check out the guide. For using a community config like this one, you only need to get through the first two sections — Installing JSM and Using an already-made configuration file.

Just copy the above configuration into a text file, change the IN_GAME_SENS to match your in-game settings, and then drag that file into JoyShockMapper and hit Enter to use it right away. Some games have their own limitations with certain controllers or require some extra setup, so make sure to check for any notes near top of the main FTL: Faster Than Light page.
