Keybinds just not working?
Fixed: I had to unplug my 2nd Tartarus and then it would work. Weird fix but it works I guess.

So Im having some huuuge issues with keybinds.
Im playing as a Mage, Using Razer Tartarus Pro Keypad and Mouse... And nothing is working..
Well, not nothing but enough to be frustrating.

neither Hipfire nor Dodge works. I already went through the Prologue telling me how it works, yet the buttons refuse to work. regardless of whether I have them on Default settings or change them to my liking.. They. just. dont. work. any tips to fix this?

also if it stops responding alt tab to another window & back to the game ... some times the game fails to hook the hotkeys (they aren't global hooks)

Im aware what the dodge button is at base, but it just refuses to work. it doesnt dodge. It hasnt done it once so far in 4hrs of gameplay the Hipfire and Dodge buttons just havent worked.

for me it's a double tap or/and a context senstitive one.

it has some weird nosnense about cycling through hotkeys. it's a sidestep than dodge.

THough double checking the program has proper OS focus is a step as well.

Well sidestep/dodge whatever its called, my character doesnt do anything when I hit the dodge button, nor hipfire button. They stand there spacing out into space. whether I move while pressing it, or not. whether in combat or not. they just dont do what the button says they should be doing

Oh .. Ummm
question Controler of KB/M?
Do you havea controller plugged in when using kb/m? (I play via the KB, w/o any controllers plugged in unless I use them for explict games)

I use a Razer Tartarus Pro, a Keypad so I guess it would classify as Keyboard & Mouse
No, No controller plugged in.

SO the question becomes.. is that your ownly KB input & does it respect the normal KB inputs?
no, the normal Keyboard inputs are also being ignored by the game

So, Do you have an alternative input?

yes. I rebound it to Mouse 4, Ive tried it with base Space. Ive tried it with a dozen other Buttons, nothing works

have you rebind it for that class? the rebinds are only for the class you where playing at the time you rebind them. for example if you rebind jump to space an you played a warrior, the mage still have F as jump

yes.. and I think I found the issue.. apparently my Tartarus Pro just doesnt work. because its Analog buttons, the game refuses to let Dodge or Hipfire work. if I unplug it, it works fine.

In short, this game just became genuinely Unplayable for me unless I dont use what Im used to using and use a Keyboard instead... Such terrible idea.. Guess im refunding this trash

Ooaf... hold a second testing it (tech issues are the worst) not that I would say you should buy or keep it, Just that you should have correct knowledge
Actually fixed it.. I have 2 Tartarus' plugged in (one with an analog Thumbstick but the thumbstick wasnt plugged in, the other is just normal) and apparently its the 2nd one that Im NOT using with this game that was the issue.. having both plugged in at the same time.

So I can play it, just have to unplug my other Tartarus.

Its such a Dumb problem.. you would think a AAA game wouldnt have.. ive never seen or experienced this beofre in the history of me owning this setup for Years now..

Hey @RebelBuffoon about this, have a Tartarus too, and having same issue - for me the directional stick won't work. Where would I go (Windows 10) to set the input for gamepad vs. controller? Would I do that in Windows or would I do that in the game settings? Any help is appreciated I don't want to refund this game, but I play with a gamepad, it's my jam.

for the thumbstick, the only solution I found was rebinding it to WASD in Synapse, since the Arrow keys are hard bound to other things in game(just one of many issues the game has).

I didnt try messing around much with the Thumbstick since I often just use it as a Dpad for abilities instead.

Workaround: Set the controller Trigger dead zone setting to max (0.90). (in Control Settings in-game

This makes it so dodging now works, but with a weird side effect. The camera angle basically looks straight up. You have to heavy drag your mouse to try and center it.

I have the Tartarus Pro as well and stopped playing when I couldn't change any keybinds. I thought it was a bug that would get fixed but this thread now has me questioning that. I don't have 2 of them plugged in, but the game wouldn't let me use like half the keys I wanted to. directional keys, ctrl, alt, tab, space. not even right or left bracket. I wasn't in a hurry enough to play to change everything in Synapse so I figured I'd wait for the fix but is there no fix then?

It unfortunately seems that certain buttons are hard coded in the game to certain effects. But I was able to rebind Tab, ALT, Shift and Ctrl just fine personally.

you could be running into the same issue where the Game just doesnt read the Tartarus as a Keypad. It seems to read it as a Limbo somewhere between a Controller and a Keyboard, which makes the game really not like making it work.

And to my knowledge, there is no Official fix. its mostly just luck and trying everything.

It could also be Synapse beta, if you are using that... perhaps try Synapse 3? I know Ive had games,, like Total War Warhammer 3, that just dont like New Synapse Beta.
