I just got Rebirth and much to my dismay, mouse controls are no longer supported. So, I decided to try out a controller instead. I'm not too familiar with the controller controls so in order to pause the game, I unplug the controller in order to prompt a pause screen (keyboard doesn't work with controller active). Now when I plug the controller back in and resume the game, the controller is not active and the game is controlled by the keyboard. How do I make the controller the active device again?

Best Answer
If you have the latest update, you can go to your Isaac folder, look for
options.iniand open it with a text-editor of your choice. set PauseOnFocusLost to 1 (PauseOnFocusLost = 1).Now you can simply use Alt+Tab or any other shortcut which changes the window focus and the game will lose focus, triggering a pause.
This way you don't need to unplug the controller. Also most coontrollers have a pause-key in Rebirth. You can resume the game using the controller with the key for options-back (the same you use to go back one level in menus).
