I think that's the problem. You shouldn't need any 3rd party tools, just go into options->controls->gamepad and map your controls.

Are you mapping the controller to WASD or using the native controller support? If you just map the controller to WASD it won't work. I sent you an invite to our Discord server as a Twitch PM.

Hi and welcome! First of all, there are no version differences that we are aware of.

To figure out if the problem is a deadzone, try doing the glitch in other directions - move the camera slightly to the side and press forward instead of backwards, or even left or right.

That said, if your goal is to learn any% with zips there is no reason to practice zipless. For any% you are going to be playing with mouse and keyboard most of the time, so there won't really be much overlap between the two.

Other answers: We are not aware of any version differences on PC.
