Deadlock: How to select or level skill on controller?

Is there a way to select or level up a skill on a controller?

Select will open the screen to where I can grab a separate mouse and interact with these. I tried holding down select and then the skill button but that didn’t seem to work.

Please note - I’m talking about the 4 skills on the bottom - the ones you’d want to be able to easily select on the fly while in lane.

Thanks.

I haven't played it, but it sounds like the situation may be in flux:

At the time of writing, the action game is in closed beta, and it doesn’t offer native controller support. However, it does have an option that players can use to play the game with a controller.
With that in mind, the game is likely to feature controller support when it releases on PC, as it is expected to be Steam Deck compatible.
However, you must keep in mind that since the game is still in early development, it doesn’t offer any key binding or customization feature.
Additionally, even with a controller on default settings, some key actions in the game may not be mapped, so you might encounter limitations during gameplay.
In the near term, if a keyboard can do what you want, if you can dig up macro software for your platform that can look for specific gamepad combinations and send keystrokes as a result, I imagine that you could make it work that way.

  I hope so.
  It baffled me that Valve released a game that isn't really compatible with controllers not long after releasing the Deck. I was kinda hoping Deadlock would be very controller friendly. When/if this happens I'll give it a second look.

  I mean, it's not released.

  About This Game
  EARLY DEVELOPMENT BUILD
  Deadlock is still in early development stages with lots of temporary art and experimental gameplay.
  LIMITED ACCESS
  Access to Deadlock is currently limited to friend invites via our playtesters.
  It's not even Early Access.
  Like, if you want to play it at this point, you're gonna get something that isn't done. It's hopefully playable, but...shrugs
Well, double check that your bonds are ALT for the details menu and the number keys for the skills. If it still fails, you could always bind a mouse region to click on wherever the skills are and use it as a mode shift
Sorry for hijacking. does anyone might have an invite for me? my steam friend code is 8876389
