Different between joystick and keyboard maybe a bug

[『Blank』]

When u lose balance, just hold down the left and right mouse buttons and move the mouse towards, and at the same time press w key, you can make u back,also in opposite way. but when u use Joystick,u cant do that. i think moving mouse and pressing the w have
double strength make u keep the balance in the previous case.

Yes, this is indeed the case. The inputs for M+KB and Gamepad are so different it wasn't possible to get them balanced equally and still have them both feel good to use. So this is one area where M+KB is better. But on the other hand gamepad is better for controlling both stilts at once, which helps in some of the later, more complex levels.
