does controllers work for this

I was wondering, does the controllers like xbox or ps4/5 work for mario kart pc, I just started thinking about it, and now I can't stop

i dont think so.

if you wanna play with controllers , I'll walk you step by step with the process.

Step 1

first, you'll need a PC (of course) and a controller to use to play MKPC. Make sure that your controller can be connected to your PC via bluetooth or USB.

Step 2

Once you have what you need, install AntiMicro which will map keyboard keys to your controller. you can install it here: https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro/releases

Step 3

Once installed, and Windows configures it, open AntiMicro. (You may need to go to Program Files using File Explorer and go there to open it.)

Step 4

Make sure your controller has been connected to your PC. Once opened, you can check if your controller has been connected if you see the name of the controller you connected.

Step 5

Now, you map the keys on the keyboard to your controller. For example,

Arrow Keys Left & Right = Left Stick
Item Key = Right Trigger
Drift Key / Do Tricks = Left Trigger
Accelerate Key = A/B Button
Look Behind Key = X/Y Button

There are also presets for joysticks, so you could easily map left and right arrow keys to a joystick.

I like to use the right stick to move the mouse and a extra button for left click. But if it's easier, you can still manually move the mouse for navigation.

Once you're happy with your controller map, you're ready to play MKPC with your controller! Just make sure that AntiMicro is running in the background by minimizing the program. When your done, you can close the program.

(If you're wondering, it does support xinput and most controllers. I've tested this with 2 USB controllers, as well as a switch pro controller.)
