    Me and my team are currently working on the game design document for our next game and we are wondering if there is a tool we can use to easily generate controller layout diagrams for controllers and keyboards/mouse like shown in the pics below.

    Just draw it by hand on a piece of paper and take a picture with your phone. It's a good opportunity to practice not spending a lot of time fiddling with a GDD. The purpose of the GDD is to capture and convey information, not to be pretty. (Unless you're an established studio with a publisher who has asked for a polished GDD.)

    If it's just an internal doc, you can grab an image from google images. My point was that you shouldn't spend a lot of time fiddling with the GDD, but just get the content in so you can convey the info to teammates and get to work on the game.
