Is this is a wireless controller?
Do you have other input devices connected except mouse and keyboard?
If so disconnect them, restart the computer > test.
It is a wired controller. I do have a joystick connected. I'll try later tonight and see if that helps. If it does, that's at least semi functional work around until a real fix can be found, because I really don't think crawling under my desk to plug/unplug things every time I play a different game is not a great solution.

No, it is not.
But it is doubtful that Bioware can reproduce this if they don't have the exact same joystick or even some other input devices you have, and there is no fix for such thing if they can't reproduce it.- 4 years ago

But it didn't take me long googling to find lots of people with the same issue with lots of different other peripherals. I was hoping that a better solution had been found since the last post about it, since I was a bit late to starting the game. But I'm not inclined to give EA/Bioware a pass on this one because they couldn't test my specific joystick, since the problem seems more widespread than just my specific hardware set up. But on the assumption that EA is never going to fix this, I'm open for software/setting level fixes that are still annoying but don't involve crawling under my desk, if anyone has found one.

Yeah, some combination of periphery hardware is blocking the input, this is a driver problem.
But you are right, I doubt Bioware will fix this, it is a long time since the last patch.
You can try if disabling the the joystick in the device manager or shutting down its controller software works.
