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.

  • Having an issue with controllers and mouse/keyboard as well. I have a Razer Tartarus Pro (Keypad with a D-pad/Analog switch) so when I first loaded up the game the mouse worked fine in menus. Once in game though my aim drifted to the upper right, most likely Razer's subpar D-Pad has drift.

    Solution: Unbind all controller bindings. Mouse now has priority since it's the only input bound. 

    Problem now is I like to fly on controller, so I use a Scuf Envision Pro Wireless. So now I have Gunner Aiming bound under controller (Right Stick) but also keyboard/mouse (Mouse Movement), but it doesn't react to mouse input. Bit of a bummer because when in land vehicles I can't aim with the mouse anymore. Really wish the game would just recognize both inputs or if there was a priority toggle for each group of control setting, i.e. Infantry, Aircraft, Helicopter, Gunner, etc. I get I might be on the fringe here with all my input devices.

    Same issue, but I can restart the game and its fine again. But this only happens to me if I lift my mouse of the mouse pad and then set it back down with any force, which I frequently lift my mouse while playing to readjust my movement area while playing. Thought it was the mouse so I bought a brand new mouse and different brand and still have the exact same issue.
