How to Make Controllers Work for Plants vs Zombies on PC
First off, Plants vs Zombies is primarily designed for mouse and keyboard play, but don't let that stop you from controller fun! If you wanna use a controller, you'd probably need a third-party app like JoyToKey or XPadder. These apps let you map keyboard and mouse actions to your controller buttons. Just configure the app with PVZ in mind, and you're good to go!

Honestly, just stick to the keyboard and mouse. The game was designed for it, and using a controller just complicates things unnecessarily.
Pro tip: Check out Steam's Big Picture mode if you're playing through Steam. It offers controller support for many games that don't natively support it. Not sure if it'll work for PvZ but worth a shot!
I managed to get my controller working with Plants vs Zombies using a program called AntiMicro. It's pretty straightforward to set up and maps your controller buttons to keyboard keys. Made the game a whole lot more fun for me, and I didn't notice any lag or issues.
