Just to update, issue is still here, no mention or contact from the Devs around fixing this, it appears to be the drone keybindings are hard mapped/bound to the arrow keys, on gamepads such as the Razer Orbweaver or Tartus those map across to the thumbstick by default (I do not believe this is a game pad issue, just the arrow keys being hard mapped/bound to certain gadget functions in game).
There is no possibility to remap them and if they conflict with other programmed/bound keys, even if you unbind them in the config settings you can control, it does not then resolve the drone control issue.
Also affects EOD bot.
A similar issue can also occur if you remap keybinds for call out for revive / accepting death, which leads me to believe there is an underlying issues with the 'hard mapped' / custom keybinds in general.
Also no ability to rebind career skill (hard set as key 6 with no config menu option to change)
