Dead Space Remake – How to Fix a Non-Working Controller and Keyboard

A remake of the iconic game Dead Space premieres today. This production had its original release in 2008, and many people were absorbed by the world created in the game and the horror it brought with it. Now, a few years after the initial launch, we can experience it again. However, some people cannot enjoy the title in peace, as they suffer from control problems. For many, the controller or keyboard does not work. In this article, we have a solution for you.

How to Fix a Non-Working Controller and Keyboard

1. Unplug all unnecessary devices – this method works also if your controller is not responding at all in the game. Many people say that other devices were responsible for the non-functioning hardware. For example, a connected gamepad while they wanted to play on a keyboard. It works similarly with controllers, check if you have any HOTAS plugged in. Don’t just turn them off – disconnect them completely!
2. Try re-setting keybindings – this is another method that has worked for many players. Reset the keybindings, there’s a good chance this will help you, especially if you can’t run or jump.
3. Reset the game – I’m sure many of you may have already tried this method, which is why you are here, however some players claim that resetting the production a few times enabled them to use their default controller again.
4. Unplug your keyboard before starting the game – this method can supposedly help too, if you plug it back in already when controlling Isaac.
5. Drivers – this comes up in every guide, but it’s always worth remembering to have up-to-date drivers.
