How to reactivate controller Binding of Isaac Rebirth
I just got Rebirth and much to my dismay, mouse controls are no longer supported. So, I decided to try out a controller instead. I'm not too familiar with the controller controls so in order to pause the game, I unplug the controller in order to prompt a pause screen (keyboard doesn't work with controller active). Now when I plug the controller back in and resume the game, the controller is not active and the game is controlled by the keyboard. How do I make the controller the active device again?

If you have the latest update, you can go to your Isaac folder, look for options.ini and open it with a text-editor of your choice. set PauseOnFocusLost to 1 (PauseOnFocusLost = 1).
Now you can simply use Alt+Tab or any other shortcut which changes the window focus and the game will lose focus, triggering a pause.
This way you don't need to unplug the controller. Also most coontrollers have a pause-key in Rebirth. You can resume the game using the controller with the key for options-back (the same you use to go back one level in menus).

Answer 2
Unplug a controller while playing is not a good idea, because not every game lets you to change the type of controller "in game".
If your only problem is the Pause button, you'd better check or change your controls from the Main Menu options, as asked before here.
Answer 3
I just exited the game and then went back in and now it works. Now I know the controls so I won't do that again.
