Keyboard/Mouse Controller Switching

[Gunsalves]

Can't figure out why but when using an xbox controller the game keeps switching between showing keyboard and mouse inputs to controller inputs on screen. Anyone else having this issue?

[Gunsalves]

So no one else is having this issue?...

This happened to me during 1 play session but never happened again. It sorta fixed itself. But try alt-tabbing or alt-enter a couple times and see how you go.

Try turning your mouse upside down, or unplugging it. Maybe its getting bumped. ?

I had to read this twice before I got it. Yes that's a good idea :D

No, I've already tried turning the mouse off and alt tabbing. No matter what I've tried as I play it continues to show keyboard keys and then switch to controller buttons.

I'm experiencing the same thing. After about a week of playing with no issues, the game began to read my controller as a keyboard(the past few days). I've tried uninstalling the Controller Companion app, then defaulting the Steam controller configurations, used a different controller, etc, and still nothing. I'm new to PC gaming so I figured maybe accidentally changed the config somehow but I've tried everything at this point. Really sux since I was enjoying the game and can't find any solutions. Ease of use is why I stayed a console gamer for so long, so I can't help but shake my head atm.

I've heard this sort of report before. (And I accidentally got into this bug)

This tends to happen if you attempt to use Game Controller and Keyboard/Mouse Input at the same time, we call it: "Simultaneous Controller+Keyboard/Mouse Input", "Mixed Input" for short.

Many PC games aren't designed for Mixed Input, and stuff like this happens. Despite Days Gone officially supporting it, the Button Prompts starts to flicker.

with Days Gone: There's a case where Keyboard/Mouse prompts may be stuck until you pause the game. An option to forcefully lock Button prompts (akin to how Death Stranding does) would solve this type of problem.

Nah, this is the only game that's ever done this. Still no solution

what if the cable is snagging specifically when you play this one game because you play it with your hands in a certain position snagging the cable in a direction you otherwise wouldn't with these other games? its always possible your hardware is just spoofing itself, making you think its only happening with certain games and you would never even see it coming. cant be as bad as those people who own a 3080 though.

The controller is wireless and I even unplugged the keyboard and mouse and it still does it

Just bought a new wired controller and still the same result. Only thing I can think of is my that my PC wants to pair my wireless controller as a "mouse or keyboard" and not as a "controller" when pairing bluetooth. Wasn't an issue before but I'm all out of ideas. If you have any luck, I'd appreciate a heads up. Thx.

Make sure windows has the right version of xbox controller drivers , Had driver error once with controller and similar issues to yours windows gave me wrong version the first time . Downloaded driver directly from microsoft site .You shouldn't need any extra overlays for controller if drivers are functioning correctly .
