Controller Support in Menus (Settings AND In-Game menus both)
(I used DualShock 4 to play)
It's not great. Cursor is quite slow, controller prompts in the match settings lobby tend to not appear (d-pad at the sides). On a completely unrelated note, if you crouch while in settings (seemingly only when using a controller) quite often you may never uncrouch unless you change lobbies/start a map. Using completely stock controls layout I'm able to use microphone with L1 (LB) and R1 (RB) WHILE in journal, which even has prompts for the same keys used to jump through categories (photos, evidence, ghosts, etc.). That means every time I peek into journal during a hunt and try go through evidence I have to only use a slow cursor, otherwise I risk getting my mic being picked up by the ghost for navigating menu the intended way. Default controls also assume you're using Cross (A) to turn on and off handheld electronics and interact with cursed possessions. There's an issue however, it's the same button that is used for confirming an option if you're using text instead of speech recognition (especially now that after recent couple of updates Vosk suddenly stopped recognizing my speech at all without any change in game settings and I'm now Forced to use text recognition), which means that if I activate a Spirit Box using Cross (A) I will instantly select an option for a question to the ghost. It's not a huge deal, but I literally cannot enter Ouija board without asking a question, no matter how fast I depress the button. Also, this means that if I remap dropping items to Circle (B) I will not be able to select whatever option is associated with that button in the menu - I will instantly drop the object.

So to summarize, there needs to be a clear separation between in-game and in-menus, so that controls don't get mixed up and I don't lose sanity by unintentionally asking something through Ouija board that I didn't care for, and not to bring ghosts to me while in hiding spots by going through journal using actual prompts from developers. This separation would automatically account for custom mappings

I'm struggling with an Xbox controller too. Cursor is majorly slow
