Change Touch Controls in Brawl Stars

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

From the Brawl Stars home screen, open the hamburger menu, select Settings, and tap Edit Controls. Move or resize the touch buttons in the battle preview, then save and test the layout before playing a ranked match. This editor changes Brawl Stars touch controls; it does not remap keyboard, controller, or emulator inputs.

Open Edit Controls

From the Brawl Stars home screen, tap the hamburger menu in the upper-right corner, choose Settings, and select Edit Controls. A battle preview opens with the touch controls available for editing.

Arrange the buttons

Drag the movement, attack, Super, Gadget, and Pin controls to reachable positions. Select a control and use the visible size or opacity option only when it helps you distinguish or reach that button.

Check both sides

Confirm that the movement control and every action button remain on screen and do not overlap. Keep important buttons away from the device edge, camera cutout, and gesture area.

Save the layout

Tap Save after reviewing the preview. If the layout becomes unusable, return to Edit Controls and use Reset to restore the default placement before saving again.

Test every action

Use Training Grounds or a Friendly Battle and test movement, aiming, attack, Super, Gadget, and Pins. Success means every control responds from its saved position without hiding another button; adjust one control at a time if something is difficult to reach.

If it does not work

  • If Edit Controls is missing, make sure you opened Brawl Stars Settings rather than the device or emulator control editor.
  • If a button is off-screen or overlaps another control, use Reset, save the default layout, then move only the problem control.
  • If touch controls work but a controller, keyboard, or emulator mapping does not, change that input in its own supported controller or emulator settings; Brawl Stars Edit Controls does not remap it.
