Gamepad Navigator

Blender add-on that lets an Xbox-style controller navigate the viewport, select objects and record camera keyframes.

What Gamepad Navigator does

Gamepad Navigator lets you drive Blender with a wired or wireless Xbox-style controller. Joysticks and triggers pan, zoom and rotate the viewport, with turntable and trackball orbit modes and analog speed control that scales with how far you push.

Beyond navigation it can select objects point-and-shoot style, focus on them, and handle camera work including depth of field and f-stop changes. Auto-key records camera location and rotation while you fly around, and a screencast display shows controller input live. Shortcuts switch between solid and material preview views and toggle overlays.
