Controller support and input setup

Global: playable does not establish full interface support

The official pre-release FAQ revised August 25, 2026 says AION 2 is playable with a controller and that full controller support was still being evaluated for launch. It is a dated development answer, not a current device-certification list.

NCSOFT describes the Global version as built specifically for PC. That statement does not establish a console release or identical controls across regional mobile clients.

Taiwan: the official guide is labelled BETA

The guide explicitly warns that some functions may be unavailable. Confirm current bindings in the selected client rather than treating these reference combinations as Global defaults.

Test a setup before relying on it in combat

• The device is detected by the current game or platform settings.
• Movement, camera and target selection work in a safe area.
• You can navigate menus and read skill prompts.
• You can activate and end flight without confusing the binding.
• Keyboard and mouse remain available for uncovered functions.

Gladiator macros: do not invent a command language

The reviewed sources do not establish a supported current Gladiator macro syntax or permission for third-party combat automation. This guide does not supply an unverified script or promise that it is allowed.

Use the current in-client control and skill-preset features that your service actually exposes. Keep a written skill-choice plan in the build notebook; a note is not an automated rotation.
