Cyberpunk detects my keyboard as a controller

For some reason Cyberpunk changes the keys it shows to controller the moment I press anything on my keyboard. I have no controller connected. Any way I can force it to display only keyboard inputs or some other way to make it stop doing this?

Thanks to the @jason098 from LGD discord who found a solution to the problem with the layout switching and lack of action for some buttons:
1. First, backup Cyberpunk2077.exe.
2. Use this command

echo '2C45C6: EB' | xxd -r - Cyberpunk2077.exe

or change 74 to EB by 0x2C45C6 offset in hex editor

If you previously applied my fix, it seems like it should work, but the best thing to do is to restore the exe from backup

and thanks to the @Saancreed from LGD discord for command.

Old fix (fixes the glyph update, but the game keeps thinking it's working with a gamepad and because of this, the crouch, quick melee and dodge buttons don't work):
Here is a temporary fix (at least for Linux users) that removes the glyph update (so when playing with a gamepad the buttons will be from the keyboard)
First of all make a backup of Cyberpunk2077.exe
And need to replace

e8 1f 00 00 00 48 8b 5c 24 40 48 83

90 90 90 90 90 48 8b 5c 24 40 48 83

in Cyberpunk2077.exe via hex editor (Bless or ImHex for example)
or use this command (hope you have perl)

perl -pi -e 's/\xe8\x1f\x00\x00\x00\x48\x8b\x5c\x24\x40\x48\x83/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x48\x8b\x5c\x24\x40\x48\x83/g' Cyberpunk2077.exe

Thanks to LGD discord user @Sid for help with converting this to a perl command

confirm it happen to me too after the update, thankfully I still remember the keyboard layout but the map navigation is the reason I would like a way to switch to keyboard/mouse interface ><

Same thing is happening to me right now. No idea why. No controller plugged in or anything.

Tried it but the moment I press anything on my keyboard it changes all the displayed inputs to controller.

Last I played was on release so no such luck for me.

Same thing, I was looking forwards to see changes in 2.0 but seems like QC testing was rushed again.....

Only reinstalling the game, but delete the folder manually steammapps>common>cyberpunk2077

Karma is telling you to paly with a controller

Same here. Kind of frustrating that this bug was never caught in QA if so many people are having the same issue.

Same problem here. I wonder - are people here with the bug also using Unix, Lunix or other non-Windows OSes?

I also experience this issue. Unplugging controller, disabling Steam Input, restarting Steam, none fixed it. Playing on Linux; had no issues with patch 1.61.

Interesting question, I'm using Linux (Arch). Proton Experimental or GE have the same issue.

Arch here myself. Maybe that explains why the problem wasn't caught. lol

I'm currently reinstalling to see if that solves the issue, per one of the posts above.
