In search of additional controller settings for optimum performance while racing in RaceRoom?
As you can imagine, having all the superior optimum controls for playing on a controller will consider the whole experience as something else.
That’s because you’ll be able to control your car more precisely, as well as fully utilize the in-game physics.
As to where you are going to see we will turn down massively the steering sensitivity and dead zone as it will make the input way less pointy and thus easier to drive.
Also in terms of brake and throttle sensitivity, medium levels will also be appropriate since once again we do not want the inputs to be violent and beyond control.
Having said that let’s get straight into it.

Can you play RaceRoom with a controller?
Yes, you can use RaceRoom with controller, even though you will have a little slowdown as compared to someone who uses a proper steering wheel.
Of course one would wish to race and drive with the highly developed Fanatec wheels and pedals, but for someone who may be just starting out or who is on a tighter budget, a controller can still deliver a very good experience.
How to play RaceRoom with a controller?
In order for you to play RaceRoom with a controller you will first have to connect the controller in the options menu and then proceed to modify all of the settings from the ‚Edit assignments‘ section and the ‚Advanced settings‘.
Down below you will find all the recommended settings which have been tested and are suitable for playing RaceRoom with a controller.
Raceroom Assignment settings
These ‘Assignment settings’ will allow you basically to assign all the controls and buttons from your controller to the driving input.
As you will see accelerating can be done with Rt and braking with LT.
Please note that these settings are from an Xbox controller which is being used on a PC so other devices may require some adjustments.
- Steer Left = LS Left
- Steer Right = LS Right
- Accelerate = RT
- Brake = LT
- Shift Up = X
- Shift Down= A
- DRS / PTP= LB
- Next TC Step = Right
- Previous TC Step = Left
RaceRoom Advanced Controller Settings
The advanced settings will allow you to change for each parameter what its sensitivity will be, when it will be calibrated and how big the deadzone will be.
As we noted previously, we advise keeping low steering and dead zone settings as this will make the input way less pointy.
For throttle and brake sensitivity, a medium level would be sufficient since too high a sensitivity will result in too violent actions.
- H pattern = Off
- Speed sensitivity steering = 45
- Min steering speed = 60
- Max steering speed = 299
- Analog Sector 1 = 1.5
- Analog Sector 2 = 1.6
- Analog Sector 3 = 1.7
- Return Multiplier = 2
- Steering sensitivity = 0%
- Throttle sensititvity = 50%
- Brake sensititvity = 50%
- Clutch sensitivity = 20%
- Steering Dead Zone = 5%
- Throttle Dead Zone = 1%
- Double shift prevention = 0.05s
- Throttle Upper Dead Zone = 100%
- Brake Upper Dead Zone = 100%
- Clutch Upper Dead Zone = 0%
- Clutch biting point = 5%
How can you be fast in RaceRoom playing on a controller?
In order for you to be quick enough in RaceRoom playing with a controller quite a lot of the time you will have to be late on the brakes and then you will have to be very early in full throttle.
You would understandably however give up your rolling speed in the middle when comparing it to drivers that have wheel’s and pedals however you shall still be quite fast driving like this.
Bear in mind that you need to always adhere to track geometry as this will be of great assistance to you particularly around the braking areas where you can acquire more acceleration.
Conclusion
So there you have it, these were the so advised settings of the controller for the enabling game called RaceRoom.
Please, let us know if you found this material useful and that you will be ready to get even more pleasure from the game.
Do note that each and every controller device might require different settings and thus be prepared to spend a little time on the forums or do some trial and error.
Good luck and enjoy yourself in sim racing! 🙂
