How to complete a LeKiwi mission using a game controller

Updated over a week ago

This guide walks you through how to start, play, and complete a LeKiwi mission using a game controller.

Controller Compatibility Note

This guide uses standard Xbox-style button labels (A, B, X, Y, RB, RT).

If you are using a PlayStation or another controller, the controls work the same way, but the button names may appear differently on your device. Use the button mapping below to match the controls to your controller.

During the Mission

  • The base (body) for movement and positioning

  • The arm and gripper for interacting with objects
