In this video, we build a fully rebindable input system in Unity using the new Input System and UI Toolkit.

We start by setting up player controls that work seamlessly across keyboard and gamepad, using a simple 2D spaceship controller as an example. From there, we build a controls menu using UI Toolkit’s data binding system, allowing the UI to be generated directly from the input data itself.

Once the controls are visible in-game, we take things further by: Switching between different control presets, allowing players to rebind individual actions at runtimeand saving and loading custom bindings between sessions.
