From the FAQ:

My Xbox 360 controller is not recognized by the game.
First, update your Xbox 360 controller drivers[www.microsoft.com].

Go to "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\HotlineMiami" and open "hotline.cfg" with Notepad. Check that the line "joystick=1" is present, if you see "joystick=0" instead, change it to 1 and save.

If that doesn't help you might want to try and disable rumble in the launcher (or setting "rumble=0" in "hotline.cfg").

It is also possible that other drivers interfere with the controller. Some people report that after getting a new mouse and installing its drivers the controller does not work anymore. If you have a gaming mouse like Razer for example, which has its own drivers, and you don't make use of the advanced features offered by these drivers, uninstall them.

If you have installed any virtual device program such as vJoy (which lets you use any device as a fake Xbox controller) it might interfere as well as the game will probably try to use the virtual device instead of the keyboard. Uninstall or disable the virtual devices.
