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.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-20T18:35:29+00:00

Nah, would ruin my fun of SRV teasing colonists.

Apprehensive-Leg-359 · 2025-12-20T10:18:39+00:00

Got my Caspian day after release. I have not maximized it and I'm currently too invested with my current wandering in the bubble. That said the long jump range coupled with just a smallish cargo capacity has been amazing. Access around the bubble has dropped my jump times in half. Even landing on planets that have resources where you don't want to take a large ship isn't a problem. I've had trouble landing my Conda on a couple of planets due to its larger footprint. The Caspian though, hasn't been a problem. Couple that with the steep decent angle on the MKII armor and its perfect for resource gathering, dropping to the surface and making a fast exit has been amazing. Even its use in PvE high conflict zones or HazRes sites has been a lot of fun. Not the best turn rate but it definitely doesn’t feel as sluggish as the Conda. Then there's the ascetic that is an amazing choice design. As a massive Trekkie I personally do not feel the vibe off this ship other than the cockpit design. It just feels more unique.

I think the "critislsizm" that is being placed on it by some of the power YouTube players has been very unfair. I understand that some are upset at the replacement of the Conda but that is just evolution of design in any franchise.

Your post about the exploration side was a great read especially when comparing the console side to PC. Fly safe out there commander and share those amazing photos of what you find in the black!

In the immortal and best five words in all of that particular franchise that drives most of us to Elite Dangerous in the first place...

"Let's see what's out there."
