DIRT 5 is Codemasters' arcade off-road racer, built for a controller first: its Input Bindings screen holds just thirteen actions, from the triggers for throttle and brake to a stick click for rear-wheel steering. The rows below are that screen's controller defaults, read from footage of the game's own Options menu; the PC keyboard defaults are not listed because no first-party record of them was found.
