How disable emotes for arrows players??

If someone know how fix it :)

I don't know how to disable emotes on arrow keys - but I found a really simple work around. I know this is way out of date - but maybe it will help others too...

Download PowerToys - it's free and Microsoft approved a google search on

"Download Powertoys"
will find you the right site...

After installing and running, go to keyboard manager on the list on the left,
then into remap keys

then just hit the TYPE key button under PHYSICAL KEY and type the arrow keys

hit the TYPE button under MAPPED TO hit WASD keys
so it looks like this (but side by side)

PHYSICAL KEY
Up
Down
Left
right

MAPPED TO
W
A
S
D

Make sure the Enable keyboard manager button is on (it's slightly above the remapped keys)

then Start Borderlands 3.

I then hit the reset default keys on my key bindings (I wasn't sure how remapping the keys i had swapped would work so I took the safe option).

I remapped the keys I needed (jump to my mouse thumb button etc) but left the WASD keys for movement in the keybinding options.

When I went into the game it worked perfectly. Like it did before they removed the ability to remap the emote keys in the key binding sections.

I hope this helps - I read a few things and they all said rebind the emote keys but I couldn't figure out how. I found other remapping keys systems with scripts etc to be more complicated. This is really simple and allows for a lot of configuration of mouse etc as well.

Oh and make sure the Enable keyboard manager button is off after you stop playing.

Either you find a mod that does it (i am not aware of any existing or in development), or you use an external tool (autoHotkey or whatever) to do that for you.

But sad ingame is NOT possible. The game has some hardcoded buttons and no mentioning of that (or any hints when trying to double-bind).

This is ridiculous...

We are PC players... We are not peasants forced to freaking hack our own computers to play a game we own.

What's this nonsense?

GEARBOX have to fix this problem immediately.

Wrtite a ticket to gearbox/2k,

but they have already shown that they do not care about the players or the game. There are many bugs that have been reported since launch that have never been fixed. And even features that originally worked that they then later broke and removed like hud-scaling.

I installed the software "SharpKeys" and rebind cursor to w, a, s, d. stupid solution, but works fine in game. Almost the same solution from TazzieDevil.

But it still works and that helps anyone who is searching the thread for a solution :)

I went into this problem too and used SharpKeys and confirm that worked. After that i decided to test PowerToys and seems more "acessible" for me but what i wanted is (don't know if is possible), when starting BL3, activate PowerToys and keyboard manager but if there is other way, appreciate.
PS: yes, SharpKeys will bring the assigned key to windows when working/exploring/writing so it's a bummer and reboot or logoff every time i decide to play or do something else is not cool.

Thank you so much this comment helped so much after looking for while to fix this annoying thing 🙂

it's annoying to have to take extra steps to get some working, but at least this works,

Thank you for your thanks tashbash - :)
