Input Icons: Core - Dynamic Prompts and Rebinding

Contact | Forum

Input Icons: Production-ready input prompts without the hassle

Show the right key or button automatically as players switch between keyboard, mouse, and controller. Add a complete rebinding system, built-in local multiplayer support, and 300+ essential sprites. Drop it in and skip weeks of custom input UI work.

Automatic device detection

Prompts update in real time as the player switches devices. No manual checks, no boilerplate.

A full rebinding system, not just icons

Includes rebinding UI components you can use out of the box. No scripting required. Handles single bindings, composite controls (WASD, D-Pad), and sequential multi-bindings, with duplicate detection and conflict resolution built in. Player profiles persist across sessions, which matters for shared devices.

Built for Local Multiplayer

Per-player device management with automatic reassignment and individual control scheme tracking. Made for couch co-op.

Lower-cost, per-seat friendly

Core has the same rebinding, multiplayer, and architecture as the full Bundle, with a smaller sprite set. A good fit for teams where per-seat licensing on the full version adds up.

Need more sprite variety?

Input Icons: Bundle includes 2100+ sprites with 10 keyboard styles and multiple controller variants.
