    Hi

    is it possible to control the machine with a gamepad? i cant see any options to enable it or how to enable keyboard input.

    thanks

    You can use a Joystick to Keyboard mapping application like Joy2key and many others to setup the gamepad as a keyboard, then set up Wizards and tools > customize keyboard shortcuts to suit
