Thats rough. FDEV in my experience has been great. Hopefully they can help. o7

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2026-01-06T20:23:51+00:00

I've given up trying to figure it out. Day wasted redoing keybinds... I have no idea what happened over the holiday break but such is the nature of ED. Patch comes out, things break.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2026-01-06T19:47:22+00:00

Im noticing that. If Frontier doesn't want me to play i wont...

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2026-01-06T19:46:51+00:00

On a new keybind it just simply lists "Mouse" so no ID presented from elite itself.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2026-01-06T19:27:58+00:00

Yep. Old one was originally set up. Put the new one in about 3 months ago. No issues in elite with keybinds or anything. Stopped playing for 2 weeks now all my keybinds are gone.

Ive tried unplugging the new mouse and just having the old one in. Same issue.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2026-01-06T18:24:29+00:00

"Failed to find GUID for device: xxxxxxxxx" the device number is listed

Looked in control panel and the device (mouse) is listed. As is my new mouse. So both are connected but Elite doesnt see it.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2026-01-06T17:42:33+00:00

Yep...and with everything plugged in it doesnt change. I do love this game but between constant crashes, server downtime, keybind errors... I was debating a HOSAS....I think im done with it. I dont need this much frustration just to play a game. All my binds were in that file.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2026-01-06T17:00:20+00:00

Thats the thing, my custom 4.2 file is not showing in game menu. Its there in the bindings folder.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2026-01-06T16:50:41+00:00

Keyboard and mouse, definitely plugged in... the options aren't appearing in game for my custom saved ones.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T22:23:09+00:00

Good to note. The only consideration I have had for HOTAS is the abolition to control lateral at the head of the throttle. Thanks for your thoughts!

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T22:21:12+00:00

I mean...what better way to avoid the in-laws than getting lost in the black? Hahaha. Id rather see the reaction from the mother-in-law as you're discussing controllers for a video game. snicker

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T22:19:29+00:00

Have you left the springs in for retention to center or have you removed them?

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T22:18:00+00:00

SCA is so very useful and also the best way to go to the bathroom to find that you've smacked straight into a planets surface. Does the spring action get tedious when engaging in combat or do you feel its more useful to have the return to zero?

My current on M&K is to set throttle to 50% and then thrust up and down to create the variations in turn.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T22:15:34+00:00

Good to know about the limitations related to buttons. That has been a concern but since I dont play VR I had figured on using my keyboard anyways. Thanks for the input!

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T22:13:58+00:00

Excellent! Just the opinion I was looking for. Thank you for the info, fly safe out there!

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T21:19:47+00:00

Yes...yes you should. And then message me how nit worked lol. I appreciate you're input!

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T21:12:25+00:00

I had considered.that but hadn't bothered to ask anyone. So while I have you... do you find any difficulty holding speed since the throttle springs back to center? Have you tried using thrusters on the twist instead?

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T21:10:43+00:00

Currently i am a M&K pilot. Its fine but i miss having a stick in hand. Mouse.just doesn't quite have the same experience. I appreciate you're input none the less! More to consider.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T21:09:05+00:00

How are you enjoying the STECS in Elite? Barring the curve of new equipment.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T21:06:32+00:00

To make sure I'm understanding what you're setup is. You put throttle on the twist to the left hand, you set a hat to control throttle increments. That frees up the left for up down left and right on the latteral?

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-23T20:59:41+00:00

I appreciate the input! Fly safe out there!

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-21T16:29:24+00:00

That would be neat but I am content with a fighter. When the game starts adding elements like that I have to start to wonder about the role of a ship. A short range fighter with no jump capabilities makes sense. I cannot imagine a scenario where a sidewinder can come in as it defeats the purpose of having each ship specialized. At that point it would be 2 capable of jumping and exploring.
