How to Change Controls in Super Sus

Learn how to change controls in Super Sus, swap between touch and joystick movement, and set up custom PC keymapping with MEmu 9 for faster reactions.

Sarah MillerSarah MillerLast updated: 2026-10-12

To change controls in Super Sus, open your in-game settings to switch between touch tapping and the virtual joystick, adjust your stick responsiveness, or switch to a PC setup using an emulator like MEmu 9 to map custom keyboard, mouse, or gamepad inputs. Fine-tuning your button layout and input scheme removes sluggish movement and keeps critical action triggers—like reporting bodies or executing kills—right where your fingers naturally rest.

Misclicking an emergency button when trying to execute an impostor kill ruins rounds fast. When default touch targets feel awkward or your character drifts during tasks, tweaking your layout is the quickest fix.

Mobile Control Schemes: Touch vs Virtual Joystick

Super Sus gives mobile players two primary ways to move across the map: direct touch movement and a virtual analog joystick. Touch movement commands your astronaut to pathfind toward the tapped location, whereas the virtual joystick anchors directional input directly to a thumb pad on the glass.

Here is how to switch and configure movement settings on your device:

  1. Launch Super Sus and enter the main lobby screen.
  2. Tap the gear icon in the corner to open the Settings menu.
  3. Select the Controls tab.
  4. Toggle your movement mode between Touch and Joystick.
  5. Adjust joystick dead zones and sensitivity sliders to prevent accidental input drift.

Custom Keymapping on PC via MEmu 9

Phone screens cramp your thumbs fast during long sessions. Per MEmu's official Super Sus setup guide, running Super Sus on PC through the MEmu 9 Android emulator swaps glass taps for physical inputs, giving you full keymapping across keyboard, mouse, and gamepad controls.

Binding your buttons to physical keys decouples movement from high-stakes actions. Instead of fumbling for kill or report icons with your right thumb under pressure, dedicated keys trigger interactions the instant you hit them.

Pure MouseClick-to-move with side buttons for interactionsSingle-hand navigation for simple task clearingMEmu Guide

To assign custom binds in MEmu 9:

  1. Open Super Sus inside MEmu 9.
  2. Click the keyboard/keymapping icon on the emulator sidebar.
  3. Drag a directional D-pad widget over the game's movement zone and assign WASD.
  4. Click over the action buttons (Kill, Report, Sabotage, Use) and assign distinct keys (such as Q, E, or Spacebar).
  5. Save the profile and enter a custom lobby to verify button alignment.

Testing Layouts Across Multiple Accounts

Testing a fresh control layout in ranked matches is risky. If an action button fails to register or a mapped key overlaps an interaction box, you give away your impostor identity or fail simple reactor fixes.

Per MEmu's Super Sus documentation, MEmu's multi-instance manager runs two or more game accounts simultaneously on one PC. Spin up a secondary account inside a private lobby alongside your main profile: it gives you a risk-free sandbox to dial in button spacing, confirm trigger registers, and check interaction reach without gambling your rank points.

Once your control layout feels natural, you can step into standard matches with instant reaction times. If you also like outfitting your favorite character roles with cosmetic crates or picking up seasonal Super Passes, Super Sus Top Up credits Golden Stars directly to your account using your numeric Space ID.

Troubleshooting Control Delays and Misclicks

If your inputs miss during high-pressure moments, work through these fixes in order:

  1. Check on-screen button scale: If action circles overlap on small phone screens, increase button spacing in the custom HUD menu to avoid triggering tasks when attempting to report.
  2. Re-align emulator tap points: When playing on PC, verify your emulator resolution matches your current layout profile so keybind coordinates align with active game icons.
  3. Clear secondary key bindings: Ensure no single key is mapped to both an interaction and a chat macro, which can freeze character movement mid-chase.
