+
+== Controller ==
+
+The controller is the central hub to manage your input in lolengine.
+
+There are two way to initialize it:
+
+- By hand:
+{{{
+#!cpp
+Controller* my_controller = new Controller("MyName");
+my_controller->SetInputCount(MAX_KEYS, MAX_AXIS);
+
+my_controller->GetKey(Key0).Bind("Keyboard", "Space");
+my_controller->GetAxis(Axis0).Bind("Mouse", "Y");
+Etc...
+}}}
+
+- More easily, by InputProfile:
+{{{
+#!cpp
+InputProfile my_profile;
+my_profile << InputProfile::Keyboard(key0, key0_name)
+           << InputProfile::MouseAxis(key1, key1_name)
+           << InputProfile::JoystickKey(joy1_key0, joy1_nb, joy1_key0_name);
+
+Controller* my_controller = new Controller("MyName", my_profile);
+}}}
+
+Using the Input profiles allows you to use several profiles by using `Init()` and `ClearProfile()`.
+
+Please note that Key value must all be unique, even if the device (mouse/keyboard/....) is different.
+Same rule applies to axis.
+
+=== Querying the controller ===
+
+To query the input status, use the corresponding methods:
+
+{{{
+#!cpp
+KeyBinding& key = my_controller->GetKey(Key0);
+AxisBinding& axis = my_controller->GetAxis(Axis0);
+}}}
+
+And then use the status methods for your usage:
+
+With keys:
+- `IsDown()`: Indicates wheither the key is currently pressed
+- `IsUp()`:   Indicates wheither the key is currently released
+- `JustPressed()`:  Indicates wheither the key has just been pressed
+- `JustReleased()`: Indicates wheither the key has just been released
+
+Or axis:
+- `GetValue()`: Gets the current absolute value of this axis
+- `GetDelta()`: Gets the current delta value of this axis
+
