Mouse Input Not Working for Aiming In-Game

Platform: PC
Issue: Mouse input fails to register for aiming/looking around after spawning in-game, but works fine in menus. Shooting and scoping inputs work, just not aim movement.

I’ve encountered a persistent issue where my mouse doesn’t register movement for aiming or looking around once I spawn in matches. I can navigate menus perfectly, and in-game, I can shoot and scope (e.g., ADS works), but horizontal/vertical aim is completely unresponsive. I’ve recorded a short video showcasing the issue.

Things Tried:

  • Switched input device to Controller and back to Mouse & Keyboard in Options.
  • Disabled overlays (Steam, Discord, EA App).
  • Reset keybindings to default in-game.
  • Deleted PROFSAVE_profile in Documents\Battlefield 6\settings.
  • Tested different USB ports and another mouse.
  • Alt-tabbed in/out during matches.

None resolved the issue. This feels similar to BF2042’s launch input bugs, but I’m hoping for a quick fix or workaround. Any patches planned, or is there a config tweak I’m missing?

System Specs:

  • OS: Windows 11 24H2
  • CPU: Ryzen 7 7700X
  • GPU: RTX 4070TiSuper
  • Mouse: Logitech Pro X Superlight 2

Thanks for any help or updates! Loving BF6’s potential, just want to aim.

  • Had same issue. Mouse aim would basically go from one extreme to the other with no way to actually aim at anything. Had my Xbox controller plugged in. I didn't have to disconnect or disable it. Once I moved around with it, I set it down and my mouse control worked like normal. A minor bug for sure but easily fixed.

    Exactly the same... I use the Lightspeed one... The keybinds I use doesn't work either... I press on my crouch button and it fires instead... Why did the beta work flawlessly and the final version sucks... I can't play since Friday... The only thing I had been able to do is shoot at the firing range... At least Friday I was able to move... not anymore even though I change nothing... Saturday I did not play...lol... SOrry for my English!

    Unbind alle controller Inputs that the game has.

    Is a little of work to do but will lead to it no longer misinterpreting Controller Inputs for movemts.

    (excluding The Recon drone and some scroll menus they will not work because the game constantly will register a "stick down" input)

    Okay, everyone I finally fixed the problem. If you have ANY controller plugged in, unplug it. The culprit for me was a VIRPIL HOTAS Throttle I had plugged in.

  • EA… had anybody gotten a resolution to this. My game just stopped working out of nowhere with the same issue. No vertical movement from mouse.

  • Battlefield what is going on? you guys not providing any support for an expensive game!

  • Razer Tartarus v2 gamepad was the cause of my mouse not working.

    Required unplugging for mouse to work.
