I play with a controller and mouse at the same time, and shortly after the release of BFV a patch was sent out that fixed and enabled me to use both controller and mouse without the UI of each clashing against each other (switching back and forth, not working, etc)With 2042 I wasn't able to use my controller analog stick at the same time as the mouse (character wouldn't walk, seemed like none of the native PS4 controller buttons were working if I wanted to use mouse) like I can in BFV and other games. I had to remap my thumbstick into WASD and going from 360 degree analog to an 8 directional stick was hard to deal with. This was the only negative I had with the game. Other than that much love to all that are working on this game for creating a great project and I wish much success to the game. I hope this issue will be/is fixed. Thank you very much. See you on the Battlefield!

@The_TibberI do use reWASD however I don't want the keyboard bindings where I don't need them, I prefer to have an analog stick instead of a WASD stick, and L2 + L1 + other playstation buttons to be registered by the game instead of picked up by reWASD, converted to keyboard then picked up by game which could add input delay. You should try it out, in BFV you barely even need reWASD. Thank you for your reply

@The_Tibber Also cool to find another user of the best of both worlds ;D

@xxxC🤭lBr33zExxx hopefully ! and if not I have faith it would be fixed just like it was for BFV.

@MoodyRaccoon904 I believe it will, however not 100% sure. If it doesn't work try removing double bindings by deleting the keyboard keybindings leaving only the controller stuff. Or use a program like reWASD.

@Adamaxius You may need to setup your keyboard / controller / mouse manually. During the beta there were some issues with some keypads detected as game controllers, and "double bindings" just blocked some functions.

@Adamaxius worth case scenario all you should have to do is just unbind those keys that are double binded. That fixed the issue for me during the Beta. I know they were made aware of the issue so hopefully they found a resolution for it.

@Adamaxius I use controller and mouse at the same time too :D

I sometimes come across conflicting inputs in games just like you mentioned, if you want to 100% not have this issue ever again for any game; just use a 3rd party app like DS4 or reWASD (I use reWASD)
Then set your keybind layout for the controller to keyboard keys so the game only read keyboard layouts.

@kregora Ok it may possibly be double bindings which didn't cause a problem in BFV, thank you.

@xxxC🤭lBr33zExxx Sounds good I'll give it a try, I'm assuming I should remove WASD from the in game keybindings for walking, leaving only thumbstick keybindings? As well as other conflicting keys. Thank you for your reply.

@Adamaxius yea you could do that if you start experiencing the issue you ran into during the Beta. I haven't heard or seen any posts yet regarding people having this issue now so hopefully they got it fixed prior to launch and you wont have to do anything at all.

Does anyone know if my wired Xbox One controller will work natively on PC game play ?
