Change controls, Invert Mouse

[valtroth]

Id love to be able to change any controls. Cant even locate a settings file. I'm an Inverted player (Gasp!) and can't find a way to do this.

Until these functions are made, does anyone have a suggestion to invert my mouse input on Windows 11?

I agree since I use V & B for roll keys, im also hoping for a way to change the modifier keys so I can use Ctrl to descend.
At the moment though im not gonna mess around with relearning the controls and its pretty wild how it wasnt included at launch but things like the voxel hands were.

Yeah, so, im gonna be following closely, since I literally cant play with it non inverted

It seems like such a non-brainer to me. Like...half the planet uses inverted mouse controls for first person games. Every game made since 2002 has had an invert mouse option, if it wasn't default already. How do they even get this far in development without having an invert option? Is every single play tester they use forced by fiat to use spreadsheet mouse controls? It always baffles me when a game that uses mouselook functions makes it all the way to the end user without inverted controls as an option and I've only ever seen it twice before.

100% agree. How do they expect people to play their new fancy game if we can't even control our character? This is ******* on a level I can't get my head around.

[Lord Byte]

Yes please!

This is the one thing keeping me from purchasing. No sale until implemented.

Yup. There's a few issues regarding this on the support site as well, may as well vote for and add to those just for more visibility. Keen really should be taking this as a serious game-breaking issue instead of a "control options are planned for the future, stay tuned"

Personally, I'd like to be able to switch back to the Space Engineers 1 block rotation controls. I loved using those six keys above the arrow keys, as they had their own little space. After hundreds (more than 1.5k) of hours building with those, it's almost impossible to figure out the new ones...

Almost same, during the little I played they I didn't like them as much as the SE1 controls but they're not game-breakingly bad. At least with the new keys you just hit the wrong ones and stare like a moron before being kinda annoyed at the clunkiness of the new instead of nausea from the camera moving the opposite way you told it to.

I will NOT play this game until this is fixed. As a pilot I do not want to train my brain to think of this backwards. I could accidently do that in the plane and kill myself.
