Control settings
There are many ways to control PPSSPP, and a lot of settings to configure so you can find your optimal setup.
Controls
Control Mapping
Rebind PSP controls to keyboard, game pad and virtual buttons.
Calibrate analog stick
Lets you set up deadzones and stuff to adjust the response of the analog stick.
Enable standard shortcut keys
If this is checked, keys like the Windows key, alt key etc can be used as normal. If you instead want to map those, uncheck this option.
On-screen touch controls

Hold down a button and drag the button to the desired location. Then click on Back to save changes.
To Reset changes, press the Reset button.
Button Opacity
Used to change the opacity of buttons. An opacity of 0 is completely transparent. Opacity of 100 is fully opaque
Auto-hide buttons after seconds
After this number of seconds of inactivity, touch-screen buttons are hidden. This is nice when playing on the gamepad or watching long cutscenes.
Keyboard control settings
Disable Windows key
Ignores the Windows key when the emulator is running.
Analog limiter
If you bind a keyboard key to the "Analog limiter" control, it will reduce the magnitude of the analog stick response - so you can walk instead of run, for example. This setting controls the amount by which the magnitude is multiplied to reduce it.
Haptic Feedback
If this is enabled, the device will vibrate every time a button is pressed. Useful of mobile devices for tactile feedback.
