I've used a controller since before Hearth&Home and it has worked well.

With the latest update there are definitely welcome improvements to the onscreen prompts being the correct button (or bound to a button at all). But I feel like some glitches have been added with multiple button-events occurring sometimes. Also the map now has B/circle for exit, but no way to delete placed markers.

There has always been an issue with stuck buttons at times of hiccups, like world-save. Most often I get a stuck run-button draining my stamina. Sometimes interact (auto-stoking fires), or attack. The button-release seems to be lost sometimes during these pauses, then requires some button-mashing to reset the state.

These are minor issues, and overall I prefer the controller. It's really nice for dodge-roll!
