User Settings
Ninja Input includes a dedicated Enhanced Input User Settings class that extends Epic's base implementation and centralizes player-facing preferences like mouse and gamepad sensitivity, plus axis inversion.
Setting the Custom Class
To use the custom class, configure it in Project Settings.
Enable Enhanced Input User Settings
Open Project Settings.
Go to Engine → Enhanced Input and expand User Settings.
Check Enable User Settings.
Set
UNinjaInputUserSettings(or your subclass) as the User Settings Class.

User Interface
All values can be exposed and managed through the Input Settings View Model. It's a two-way ViewModel: UI updates propagate to the settings object (and vice versa).
When initializing this ViewModel, set the Resolver to the Ninja Input resolver.
After applying changes from your options screen, call your usual "apply/save" flow so the settings persist. This ViewModel provides a dedicated function for that.
