description: Gamepad/controller nav rewrite (aada1975) shipped but has issues — needs further work
type: feedback
---

Gamepad navigation rewrite was committed (aada1975) and included in CI ISO builds, but user reports it's not working correctly. Issues:
- Can't exit input fields with up/down arrow keys when other elements are available
- Navigation behavior not right (unspecified details — need to investigate)

**Why:** The rewrite was a major change to `useControllerNav.ts` and focus management. Shipped in beta but needs polish.
**How to apply:** When touching gamepad/controller nav, treat as unfinished work. Test arrow key behavior on inputs, focus trap logic, and spatial navigation thoroughly.
