Remap keys on PC is impossible.

[-=Radius=-[Ita]]

Hello, I tried to remap the keys but I found many problems that do not allow me to play as I'm used to.
I cant' remap movement keys (only asdf), can't remap keys like Ins, Del, Page up, Page down, it answers that these keys can not be changed!
Each key I press is interpreted as a remap, also esc, right mouse button, tab, etc. So I can not get out of that menu. the only way is to end the process.

Any way to avoid this problem?

Thank you.

PS: please do not tell me to use asdf, I have a problem with my left wrist and I need to keep it resting on the table and not hanging on the keys. tnx.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I had no idea that this ♥♥♥♥ was locked. You could specifically remap your keyboard for this game with this: https://lifehacker.com/5883003/the-best-key-remapper-for-windows

Downside is that your keyboard will be remapped for all programs and windows itself, not just JC4.

But, I actually may have an idea that can really help you. I use the Logitech G13 for gaming. It's a gaming keypad which has a very comfortable ergonomic form. I just rest my hand on it while gaming, it feels amazing.
And as a bonus, you can remap ANY key on the thing. So even if a game locks itself to ASDF, you can remap ASDF to any of the keys on the G13.

Download and install autohotkey

I know I know I know .......... what a PITA


copy and paste the following ahk code in a notepad change MY numpad keys to the keys YOU want to use SAVE the notepad name as whatever you want BUT change the format extension from .txt TO .ahk Tell windows ya I know...LOL
THEN run the script and go play JC4 and move with the keys that you like to use

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
#KeyHistory 0
#SingleInstance force
#NoEnv
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 99000000

Good to Know! I will use your suggestions!
Meantime, I hope that avalance make a patch to resolve this problem. Thank you!

Edit: i made thet script with .ahk extention, but if i try to start it windows ask me which application use to open it. Have i to put that script in a particulary directory?

Radius I wrote that script for people that already have ahk installed but did not want to learn a programming language just to remap 4 keys .... just download ahk from the above link ... and install ... ahk does not even have to be running ......... your script willl run just fine after ahk is installed

Ok, now it's clear, i've no problem with programming. Thank you very much!

Radius, If you have no problem with programming ... U will love AHK ... LOL.. right click on that ahk and compile it ... put a GUI on it etc quick easy down and dirty... save that auto exe section at the top of my script ... for your future code as a template enjoy

G13 is discontinued, not made anymore.

But ALL Steelseries keyboards are 100% remapable as part their standard software, can be layered, is switch layout, and can have game specific profiles.


I honestly don't understand why other companies not just integrate similar software, especially Logitech.

Because why should they have to, its lazy, bone idle underqualified devs that need the kick up the ass.

I know we're all helping each other, but can we acknowledge how unacceptable it is that the developers have forced us to fix this game for them?

I played the game for maybe 10 minutes then refunded. I wont play a game that wont let you map the keys the way you want them. I do not play games that force you to use the WASD for movement. I wish they would let people know before buying that information. If I can't go into settings and change them in game menue then I'm not for it. I should not have to open files and change coding and stuff to make it work. I'd rather wait till they fix.

But the real question is: They let remap movement keys on JC, JC2 and JC3, why not on JC4?
I'm thinking that someone swapped the definitive version for PC with a Alpha one... :)

I agree with you they shouldn't HAVE too, but its actually not hard to implement AND makes the keyboard far more versatile, so why not add it?

But yea i much rather game have good keybind, than being force to resort to my steel series profiles.

No game should hard lock any keys (except for Esc key for menu), too many games still hardlock 1-9 keys or num keys for item/weapon slot... and usually I want use them for other things, especially when I can access the very same weapon quickly via radial menu or mousewheel.
