How to: Push-to-Talk on Game Controller

You can use AutoPTT to bind push-to-talk on an Xbox-compatible controller (or a Playstation controller, with DS4-Windows).

Note, however, that this does not block either the controller button press or the simulated keyboard key press from being detected by the game. If the controller button already has an action attached to it, then it will happen. Same goes for the keyboard key. Additionally, if the game switches between input modes (controller vs mouse/keyboard) automatically, this can also be a problem. Try it out and find out.

For example, if your push-to-talk key on Discord is F, then this is what you should do

1. Set “PTT Key” in AutoPTT to F
2. Set “Activation Mode” to “Manual”
3. Under “Hotkeys”, click on the button next to “Extra Activation Key 1” and press the button on your controller you want to use push-to-talk on.
