erick Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Keyboard has completely stopped working in both 1.5 alpha and 2.0 beta all of a sudden. I use a Logitech Extreme 3d pro, a Logitech G710+ keyboard and a Logitech G602 mouse. Only the keyboard has stopped functioning. Both the mouse and the joystick are fine. Only change has been a Windows 10 update that was applied last night after my last gaming session. No other changes. I have searched the forums and the internet. The only similar (but outdated) problem that I could find provided a solution of "deleting the keyboard folder" in the saved games folder. I did that and even went a step further and deleted both (1.5 & 2.0) saved games folders completely. This did not help. No inputs on my keyboard work. Not even ESC to pause or end the game. I have to "task manager" out to return to desktop. The only thing on the keyboard that functions is my volume control. I can also hit "alt + enter" at the main menu window to go full screen. As soon as the game is up and running, the keyboard is dead! Help! Thanks Eric :) FIXED- Had something to do with the latest Windows 10 update as it related to my Xbox one controller that was also plugged in to one of my usb's. As soon as I disconnected that controller....problem solved. Hope this helps anyone else with a similar configuration.

ericdb7g Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 My friend David has the exact same problem. He does not have a forum account, but this is what he said his exact problem was: quote: I am having problems with my Xbox One controller. First of all I have over 340 hours in game using my xbox one controller and keyboard for input. I recently tried playing the game and I cannot use my keyboard when my xbox one controller is plugged in. If I unplug the controller the keyboard works fine. When I plug in the xbox one controller the keyboard quits working and the xbox one controller works. I cannot use them both simultaneously. Please try to recreate this problem and find a fix for it. Like i said the older version of the game worked fine with this combination. Also, one of my friends also tested this and had the same problem. One of my other friends is using xbox 360 controller and keyboard with no problem with the newest version of the game. When DCS 2.0 first came out it worked fine also but now it does not work. Thank you. /quote I have an Xbox one controller and plugged it in to test it out. I also have the same problem with an Xbox one controller plugged in. The keyboard will not function at all. So, that makes at least three of us with this exact problem. I'm sure there are more out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamMcnubbins Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have the exact same problem at the moment. The latest Windows 10 update has messed up my keyboard when my Xbox One Controller is plugged in. It only happens in DCS world, every other game seems fine. Hopefully this is fixed ASAP, need to get my fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaccio Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I revive this post as this has started happening to me after the April Windows 10 update. This only happens in DCS 2.5.1 beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sslechta Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Trying logging out and back in to DCS 2.5.1 Beta. After my April update I found that DCS was not logged in. Once I logged back in, all my connections were back.

Habu_69 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Check the Device Manager / Human Interface Devices and ensure the Power Management functions are DEselected. Seems this needs to be done following every major Win10 update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyman Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 It won't necessarily be everyone's problem, but Windows can have an annoying habit of taking the focus from your DCS, or other, window, so when the keyboard stops working, just check that the DCS window is still the active one. if the DCS focus has been "stolen", then you can explore "whodunnit" and how you might prevent it in the future.

Lancelot2022 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Have you solved your problem? Some of my keyboard functions work but most don’t. Key combinations don’t work, and especially the bindings I have made over and over on my new x56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiob Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) @ambision I suppose it works everywhere else than DCS? Try disabling the hotplug function in the controls setup.

ambision Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 it does work in anything else, yes. I see now that I can reproduce this in the apache by pressing L.ALT+C, and then it loses all functionality. in the apache my mouse doesn't seem to pan in F2 or do zoon in or out with the wheel. in other modules it does though.

Hiob Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Try to rename your savegames/dcs/ folder and let it rebuild. Perhaps there is a corrupted controls setup.

ambision Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I think we can close the case: After formatting to Windows 11 stable release, the keyboard issue is gone. It's interesting to try and see what's the root cause with the Dev release of windows 11 is, since these updates will inevitably trickle down to the stable version in a couple of months. se of windows 1, since these updates will inevitably trickle down to the stable version in a couple of months. I'll update the forums as well.

Darkzy Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Any updates? Still issue free? I also have a DelanClip so disabled Mouse look on the X360 Controller incase that had something to do with it. Still keeps freezing Keyboard and mouse out. Stopping me escaping mission etc I am on a Insider Preview of Win 11 so possibly something to do with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
