I think it's usually frowned upon to post in a thread this old, but I'll hold to my principle that it's better than starting a new thread that would be exactly the same.
Why isn't there a keyboard AND mouse control option? Selecting Keyboard as a controller switches off the mouse, and selecting mouse switches off the keyboard. No other game I have ever played or seen does this. They don't do it because it is a terrible thing to do.
I don't want to be rude here, really, I'm just having a really bad day. I tried the demo on Steam and I'm convinced the demo had both the mouse and keyboard functional when I played it just the other day. Borrowing a friend's account to check the demo again now that I've bought it, I find it doesn't, so either I'm losing my memory, going insane, or this function was present in the demo only until very very recently. I just bought the game during a mid-week sale, after finishing the demo, and I was looking forward to breezing through the first two levels before heading off to bed, but instead I get killed twice, during the tutorial, on the easiest difficulty, because I'm hitting the mouse button to bring up my tactical map and it doesn't do it because I'm using the keyboard.
This is all easily and instantly ruining this entire game for me. Whether it was a recent change, a glitch, a hallucination, or whatever, I played the demo using both the keyboard and the mouse together and it was great, but now I have to wrestle with my own muscle memory just to use a repair kit in the right spot, and nothing is even shooting at me yet.
