How do I completely disable controller on PC for BF2042?

Hi all...I am playing BF2042 on PC and have run into a problem.  I also have a Logitech X56 HOTAS plugged into my PC for use with various flight and space sims like MS Flight SImulator and Elite Dang...

    By smoothing out the answers a bit, I found a solution that worked for me.

    I deleted the "PROFSAVE_profile" from "C: \ Users \ myname \ Documents \ Battlefield 2042 \ settings.

    By restarting the game the binding errors are reset and all the parameters.
    I had of course parked the original file just in case.

    Looking at the binds / variables that cause problems are on "button 255".
    GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMapSize.0.button 255
    GstKeyBinding.infantry.ConceptCycleFireMode.0.button 255

    other variable are on 255, I don't know if this is normal.

@AOD_moose004 I am having the same problem, it shows the three bars instead of holding escape to clear bindings for my mouse. I do not own a HOTAS or have a controller plugged since I do not use it for my PC at all. Same issue still, trying to remap mouse binding but it thinks I'm using a joystick which is impossible in my case, so this issue isn't because of that to narrow it down further. I can rebind my keystrokes just not my mouse, it'll default to Mouse 5 instead which is when I hit cancel, I can however revert to default settings, this is for the pilot keybind section, I haven't tried for infantry to see if this issue is persistent.

@JEDIMASTERAimX figured it out. At least on my computer. Close battlefield 2042 and search up 'PROFSAVE' in your PC it'll show 1 maybe 2 documents under 'profsave_profile' in for battlefield 2042. Delete them and restart the game. It should allow you to bind mouse and keyboard buttons without that 3 bar controller issue showing up anymore.

    @Rocketman3two1 This does not work for me or many others I've seen. It does the identical things after performing these troubleshooting steps unfortunately.

      @LeonUbernidus That's wack af I only had to deal with this for a few hours I hope something gets fixed for y'all. Maybe something to do with the client you used to download the game at this point.
