Azerty keyboard

[Der Lachende Mann]

My system's first language is english (uk), my keyboard is french azerty. I started to change wasd to zqsd for moving, and just this already gave me plenty keybind conflicts. Any way to easily switch the game to azerty keybinds?

the most straight forward way . is to add the english US (QWERTY) keyboard layout in your oprerating system and switch to it while in game. that way you won't have to rebind your keys

Thank you so very much!
I gave up and was using a gamepad, because like a few other games (like Quake remaster, from Bethesda, wink wink), no matter, if the region is FR, the bindings would be F/cked up, no matter the input keyboard language.

No, that's not something I'd recommend. Installing multiple keyboards in Windows 10 and later creates a lot of problems. Besides, it's confusing as hell when reading the key labels in the game.

Theoretically. The problem is that there are several pages of bindings, and when you modify the binding of one control, like forward (W to E in your case), some others are automatically modified too, but not all of them. So you have to guess which you have to adapt. The keyboard is so busy that it's very complex to modify even 2 keys that remain physically at the same place. They did that very badly.

You can try and get a refund if that doesn't work for you, but you can't get a refund if you play more than 2 hours (or if you wait for more than 2 weeks, I think).

This mod is working as expected, just a config file to put in MyDocuments/Starfield directory:

How in 2023, a triple A game can't handle simple things like this out of the box ? It can simply ruin onboarding...

@BELGOMIUM : You're dam right my friend Bethesda will never learn from these worst mistakes and with each game becomes worse and worse...the time for games that no longer insult veteran gamers is over. This game, at this price is just one more "insult" to all gamers who have practiced and played this type of game for 40 years , which is my case. And above all, don't tell me that I'm a radical or extreme because that's not the case at all.

A bit late to react, but there's a LOT of game companies who think that qwerty is the default keyboard for most users.

I just set up US kqyboqrd zhich I4ll lqunch just for Stqrfieldm but it4s qnnoying<<<<

I just set up US keyboard which I'll launch just for Starfield but it's annoying, got to get used to figure out what they mean when they indicate a key for a certain action, it's not what's on my keyboard but where it's on a US keyboard.. like, took me ages to figure how to flip a piece in the ship builder, or use powers, or....

Usually if a company is to lazy to bother setting up different keyboards I'll refund.. problem is, I actually like Starfield... kinda getting used to US layout...

The thing is, that when you use the key combinatino left shift plus left alt, it'll change the keyboard layout. I used both keys and I've had it happen that at the worst time possible, it changes to qwerty, which messes everything up.

I know, the easiest solution would be to change one key, so that doesn't happen, right?

I use left alt for the jetpack boost trick. left shift is to get my character to run, left control is to crouch. capslock is slow walk and fast walk, which only leaves tab. So basically, I'm stuck to the keys i'm using now.
