XBOX Controller Keyboard Not Recognized

Does anyone else have any issues with FS2024 on XBOX not recognizing the controller keypad for keyboard bindings? I just bought one because didn’t want to use a full-sized keyboard and I can use it to type in the menu, but it worthless for bindings. Is this a bug?

Thanks

Same for me, I bought the “MOKO Wireless Keyboard” keypad. Works well in search bars, but is not recogized as a Keyboard when trying to bind controls. Really annoying…

Just tried two things and one of them worked:

  1. Removed the receiver from my mouse which was also plugged into the XBOX (series S btw)
  2. Deleted the game and reinstalled it.

As I did both things at the same time, I don’t know what was the real reason for it not working. But the reinstall was good anyway as my airplane sounds were not working before. So if you have a mouse plugged in, try unplugging it. If that doesn’t help, try reinstalling the game. Hope that helps.

Same here I have a Logitech wireless keyboard and the Xbox itself recognizes it and I can type to search but it won’t find any keys to bind as controls… ugh I hope it’s fixed that would be really helpful

Does it work when you unplug your mouse (if you use one, of course)? I believe the problem is that the game only recognizes one USB device, and the one you plug in as the second device will not be recognized.

I have a CORSAIR K65. It works fine at the main xbox screen, all keys work. When MSFS 2024 is loaded and ready to use, it does not recognize any key strokes, ESC nor alt N. I have to unplug the USB dongle and plug it back in, and now the MSFS 2024 recognizes the key strokes and no further issues until I shut down XBOX X and go back into the MSFS 2024 game then I have to unplug and replug the USB and all is fine.

Yep, that’s what I observed as well. If I only plug in the keyboard everything is fine. If I add the mouse I get the same behavior that you mentioned. I guess it is a bug.

On the XBOX-X when i changed my wired keyboard to a Logitech USB Dongle Keyboard things went wrong.
Now when i scan a keyboard key it gives me: Wrong Device.
So i switched back to the wired keyboard again and now i have the same problem with the scanning.

Strangely when i control the airplane everything works.

So i consider to reinstall the game.

Note: i already used from the start Logitech mouse with USB-Dongle without any problem, things went just wrong after also connecting a wireless Keyboard.

Hey all, I’m having the same issue, where having plugged in the mouse USB receiver alongside the keyboard USB receiver causes the latter to not be recognized by the game.
Does anyone know if this is being tracked in a bug report?
(this bug persists after SU1 btw)

For me this is a new issue, I think since the recent update. Does anyone know if it is logged on the bug report? Has anyone here reported it? I couldn’t find it. Thankfully I still have 2020 installed so I’ll just continue to use that for now.

Hi I have a similar issue with a dongle trackball mouse that is no longer recognised after the last update.
I’m on a Xbox X gamepass msfs 2024 which upto the last update was working fine with turtle Yoke, dongle keyboard and dongle trackball. I replaced the trackball mouse with a dongle mouse and that works fine.
My thinking they have messed up the mouse functions after the update.

When ever the game loads I have to unplug my keyboard and plug it again for the game to recognize it.

I’m on Series X and use controller/mouse/keyboard combination all connected USB. Once It’s recognize it will stay that way until I relaunch the game.

It’s just annoying to have to unplug the thing.

I tried finding a report in the bugs about this but haven’t found anything.
