[Suggestion] Force keyboard+mouse input

Send this to support and they guided me here. This is what I wrote to support.

I am PC player and want to play Enlisted with keyboard and mouse only. However I don’t want to unplug all my other controllers while playing Enlisted. I have Joystick, Flight Sim rudder pedals, Racing pedals, Racing wheel and Xbox controller connected to my PC.

Menus are impossible to use since mouse cursor keeps travelling bottom of the screen. Even if I press keyboard buttons (in the hope that game realizes I want to use keyboard) nothing changes. I push mouse up, cursor resists movement and wants to just go to the bottom of the screen.

Could there be keyboard+mouse only option where the game does not try to use other controllers. I have seen this same thing happening on other games but when I can explicitly select keyboard control scheme those games seem to recover.

As it stands now the game is unplayable.

+1 same here… needed ASAP (i’m a sim player, unplugin controllers is a no no (windows USB issues)

I had similar issues, and “forced my way” around the problem by going into controls setup and manually deleting all bindings other than mouse and keyboard for infantry and ground vehicles.

The cursor spontaneously wandering up/down is most likely due to its Y axis being for some reason linked to the throttle axis on the joystick. Make sure to set the throttle at 50% to keep the cursor in neutral position.

Deleted bindings but still the cursor keeps travelling in the main menu. Impossible to do anything in there. Sometimes by luck I manage to start a game.

Are you sure you didn’t forget deleting axis inputs, besides key bindings? That did the trick for me.

Deleted now all. Double checked. Now game starts with gamepad config but when I press TAB it takes keyboard + mouse controls into use. So better now but still not perfect.

Actually doesn’t work. Cursor keeps travelling on buttons and selections on the main screen. Trying to move the mouse but cursor snaps to UI elements and travels to the bottom of the screen.

Bummer. Apparently you can’t unbind menu controls.

Then, another “brute force” solution could be to reconfigure all controller axis with largest possible dead zone, up to 100% if allowed.

Also, remember to set the throttle on the joystick in 50% position, which is the neutral value of the axis

Situation seems to be even worse when unlocking airplane. In the middle of the flight game decides to change from keyboard+mouse to something else and plan starts diving to the ground.

For menus alt-tab back to windows and back to game seems to switch back to kb+mouse but for plane this does not work. And of course alt-tab pretty much means plane crashes.
