Mixed Input Console-Keyboard-Mouse

Overview

Reads all input devices at once instead of switching between them. Useful for gaming keypads (Azeron, Razer Tartarus, Logitech G13, and similar) that register as multiple device types. Only tested with Azeron - other devices should work but are unverified. Not a product endorsement.

No weird stuttering now if I try to sprint with my joystick set to work like a real joy stick- someone who can afford an Azeron.

Background

Darktide's InputManager defaults to SELECTION_LOGIC.latest, which switches the active input device based on the last button pressed. Devices that register as multiple input types (e.g., keyboard + controller) cause rapid switching, resulting in dropped inputs and UI prompt flickering.

This mod sets SELECTION_LOGIC.combined, an existing but unused mode in Darktide's input system. In combined mode, all active devices are added to _used_input_devices simultaneously. The input service then aggregates inputs across devices using combine functions:

• []Boolean actions (pressed/held/released): OR logic

  []Vector3 actions (movement/look): Returns highest magnitude

  []Float actions (triggers): Returns maximum value

  Features

  UI Prompt Control

  With multiple device types active, gamepad_active changes based on last pressed device, causing UI prompts to flicker. The mod hooks device_in_use() to allow locking the reported device type:

  • []Auto - Default behavior (follows last pressed device)

    []Force KB+M - Always reports keyboard/mouse active

    []Force Controller - Always reports gamepad active

    Settings

    • []Enable on Start - Activate combined mode on game launch

      []Debug Mode - Verbose logging to chat and console

      []UI Prompt Mode - Control which device type UI queries return

      Console Commands

      • []/mixed_input_status - Current mode and settings

        []/mixed_input_devices - List active and used input devices
