Same here with Xbox controller. X button can be removed but not assigned. Says X is already in use.

Same issue. Using PS5 controller seems like if you set back to default the X button “square on ps controllers” it will set back to default. But when trying to reassign it will say it is in use and cannot be assigned. If you try and change any other button that is already in use you get a message if you want to replace since it is already in use.
I’m having the exact same issue. PC - XBOX Controller. Gotta be a bug on LE’s side. This is the only game that gives me this issue. Kinda sucks because it has made it to where I cannot use my controller at all in the game as it keeps saying buttons are in use when they are clearly not.

Same issue, same controller. I’ve done a search and there’s… dozens of posts about this. One guy in particular had several different controllers and none of them worked.
The weirdest thing for me is that my controller worked - but only 3 buttons on it worked. So I adapted my keybindings to correspond to those 3 useable buttons, and I played a Primalist so I could put companion abilities on the buttons that didn’t work…
So this morning I was playing and I said to myself, okay, I’m getting tired of not being able to use potions while using controller, or pick up items, or most things really - let me try one more time to get the other controller bindings to work… So I go into the interface and try AGAIN. When I did, it REMOVED button functionality on my controller. So then only 2 buttons on it worked. I tried again, and then it removed all button functionality.
So now I can’t use the controller at all, lol
The 1.0.1 update seems to have totally fixed controller for me. Which is crazy 
Still can’t really rebind the keybindings on abilities for the controller but, that’s fine for now. Like I tried to change what Y on the controller does, it didn’t let me do it.
Same problem using a Steam Deck which is basically Xbox input. Didn’t want Y to be minion move, since I won’t be playing with minions, but even after Clearing Y from the bindings it still tells me that It’s assigned. Steam controller config does work as a temporary solution.
I also can’t rebind some keys. I fixed for so long with my drivers and installing apps only to now feel stopped from playing Last Epoch nicely with a controller because I can’t rebind triangle away from minion attack and to one of my skills.
When I was using the same controller but pretended it was a xbox 360 one (through steam or other apps) I instead couldn’t bind anything to L1 (which is the L bumper I believe, the front top ones).
Hoping for a fix! Also you’re listed on steam as unknown if the game supports PS controllers, but given it shows the correct icons for the buttons in game I think you should tell steam that it’s partial just like it shows for xbox.
Yeah, unfortunately for me, the update that rolled out today aimed at controller support did absolutely nothing to fix the issue for me. I still can’t remap buttons, and I can’t even switch back to the default settings on my controller which now has all of its inputs saying they are in use when they are not. I’m unable to play the game w/ a controller at this point. Not the end of the world for me as a PC user, but it’s still really frustrating.
Switching back to the default I guess could be done with a reinstall (also make sure you delete configs stored in C:)
As for rebinding, would be nice to have ingame, but you can always configure stuff through the Steam Controller interface. You can swap buttons there, but of course you would have to learn them after, because the game will still show the default prompts.
I can’t even use a controller it crashes the game altogether especially anytime I’m in a skill tree trying to do points. I’ve actually lost count how many times after around the 15th time. It’s honestly sad.
im having issues rebinding my A button im using xbox controller.
Same issue. Cannot rebind square on PS4 controller.
Same here. Unable to bind square or circle. Ps5 controller.
Same issue here - I’m trying to use my Xbox controller and its button bindings are terrible. Seem completely unable to remap some buttons, like A for example. How can it be so difficult to get a controller working!! I really want to play using controller & its sapping the fun out of it for me ATM - Any fix planned?
No fix or acknowledgement? Still unable to bind buttons dual sense.
I am also having this problem, playing controller on PC. Is there a fix in the works?
Dont expect a fix soon. I reported this issue already in Beta, just to be told that “it should work”.
So most likely there is no priority fo this.
I discovered it will work if you make sure the controller is on before you start the game. If I forget and find that I can’t change a keybind, I just log out and make sure controller is on when I start it back up. Hope this helps someone…
Using my dualshock I finally found a fix. Took awhile to find it.
