# Input for user interfaces

Wire the Input System to Unity UI so players can navigate menus, click buttons, and interact with on-screen widgets.

Choose a supported UI stack and UI Input Module, configure the built-in UI action map, and handle cases where gameplay and UI both receive input. Add virtual mice, multiplayer UI, or on-screen controls when your project needs them.
