Option to disable joystick
Another game, which THINKS it KNOWS BETTER then me, how MY SETUP ist working. I am playing many different games on my machine. I have a bunch of controllers connected to it, some of those are HOTAS controls.
I DISABLE every function regarding gamecontrolers in the options, and STILL the game grabs inputs from one of those, which it THINKS might be a gamepad, but it is not, because it is the left toebreak of my rudderpaddles, which will never be centered without beting pushed, and IMPOSES the imput from that axis on controls in menues and on the movement of my character!!

I am really sorry to be that agitated by WHY IS IT SO HARD, TO ADD AN OPTION TO CONFIGURE SUCH THINGS???

It is 2022 for crying out loud, how difficult can it be?

Because the game knows better THAN you.

Agreed. Everytime I play the game, I have to unplug every single controller plugged into my PC. Even though in my control settings, everything relating to gamepad is set to either "None" or "Unassigned" the game still takes input from my controllers and prioritizes their inputs over my keyboard and mouse which get annoying as all hell.

However, the developers seem inept to the issue as I and many others have reported in the bug tracker that controller inputs are a constant no matter what and the only way to have keyboard/mouse input only is to unplug the controllers. But the devs always respond with "Controllers won't be registered as active unless a button is pressed" but that's complete BS because I never press a button on my controllers yet they're still active.

They used to have a feature to block controller input in the game and you could activate controller input by pressing "J" but for some stupid reason, in their quest to better controller support, they removed that feature. No game I have ever played has such an issue with mixing KBM and controllers but Stormworks.

And stormworks isn't the only game with that problem. It's incredibly frustrating. And so simple to fix!!!!!!
