can someone explain the controls?
I used to be a very dexterous individual. dominated maps in cs 1.6 days. nowadays I mix controls up in d3. So my question is how do the controls work? I saw the rotating disc in the trailer so that has me worried.

Is it a simple gamepad button press game or does it also involve left/right interaction or something I havent even thought up?

My timing is still excellent as I still shoot on a range every week to time trials but my keyboard/gamepad capabilities are lackluster.

Feel free to chime in with anything else I am sure I didnt even think of to ask about. If GH and rockband still sold peripherals I would love to keep playing that but alas harmonix and publishing deals in general. sigh.

The controls are fully customisable. You can use keyboard, mouse, controller, or even midi controllers.

Default controls for mouse are this:
Mouse moves the big wheel left and right, you move the mouse to "catch" the right colour notes. You can flick the mouse left/right for the "spins", the game is quite forgiving with these flicks.
Left click to tap notes (bigger rectangle ones)
right click to hit purple line beats

The game can be played entirely on a mouse however I pair it with the keyboard:
Space (by default) to do the purple beat notes
A and D on keyboard to do spins instantly without having to mouse-flick

All of the controls can be rebound to any button or key you want. You could play it so a gamepad left/right flicks the wheel, and a analog stick rotates it smoothly. The game is incredibly accessible and really any control method that you think would work better for you, will likely work for the game.
