Oculus VR + xbox1 gamepad/keyboard+mouse problem, HELP.

[Latva Laho]

Hi,
I have an Oculus CV1 + XBox1 game controller.
How do I make that controller work in VR mode?
Or how do I make the (keyboard + mouse combination) mouse operate in VR game mode, the mouse operates in the menus but it cannot control the player.
Now I can't play in VR mode because I can't get the game character to turn in any direction.

I saw this post here, let me know if it works:


Ok, after much fiddling, I've discovered where the issue lies; NMS is pulling it's gamepad configuration from an external Steam plug in. You can see it open this if you configure the keys from the 2d client, but the options lock up entirely in VR. Here is the work around;

* Start SteamVR
* Click the Options icon (3 horizontal bars, top left)
* Select Devices > Controller Settings
* Click "Show More Applications
* Select "No Man's Sky"
* Make sure "Current Controller" on the right is set to "Gamepad"
* You now have multiple options. You can import a community binding as a basic template, or edit the default from under "Current Binding".
* Once happy with it, exit the window and launch NMS. You should now have a working gamepad.

The 2d version skips all of the above and directly opens into the editing window for the Current Binding.

Hope that helps!

I can get my xbox controller to work as described above but when in game, can't use my multi-tool properly; it's always pointing behind me, and any button I assign to 'grab multi-tool' does nothing. Any ideas?

can't get to work left stick on my Xone controller :(. I've got "gamepad" as "Current Copntroller" - then whatever profile I set right stick does'nt work.
I tested on Xone controller and PS4 aswell - in both cases left stick doesn't work.

it doesn't work only in menus.

This only works for me if I make sure my VR controllers are off before I launch the game. Otherwise, the VR controls override the sticks on my gamepad. So, currently, there is no way to play this game with gamepad & VR controllers at the same time. Hopefully that will change, because the motion flight controls are truly terrible.
