How do I use my custom controls in campaign?

Go to the Time Booth and set the controls to default then back to your controller profile.

If you are starting a new Campaign, first go to Battle, Brawler Select, and select your controller profile. Your controller profile should be set for you to start a new Campaign with that controller profile.
