📋 About This Mod
This simple mod will help you search with the Left Dpad button in your controller. This mod is essential if you want to use the Sprint key mod. If you use the sprint key, you will see you can sprint anytime with any class character by holding the LThumb/L3 or RB/R1 button. Since LThumb/L3 has its own input action in the game, which is search, it gets a bit messy. So, I created this mod just to change the Search key to the Left Dpad Button.
This small gameplay mod for Baldur's Gate 3 lets you use the Left D-pad button on your controller to search the environment, instead of the default key. With 35 endorsements and 873 downloads, it's a niche quality-of-life tweak for controller players. Last updated March 2024, it's a simple drop-in mod that does one thing and does it well.
