Gamepad Navigator is an add-on that enables the use of X-input gaming controllers for viewport navigation and camera control in Blender. It supports wired and wireless controllers on Windows without requiring external drivers. Users can pan, zoom, and rotate around scenes using analog joysticks and triggers, which provide proportional speed control based on input pressure.

The tool includes features for setting up camera shots, controlling depth of field and f-stop dynamically, and auto-keying camera location and rotation. It also provides an on-screen screencast overlay to display controller inputs in real time. Additional functions allow for quick viewport shading toggles, object selection, and automated turntable viewing of selected objects.
