Tell you something good, and I'd like to think this was intentional but tbh, considering the age of the games I'm not sure, plus its a pretty niche use case. This game is one of only two (Star Citizen) that works with my analogue keyboard so far. Normally what happens is, if I bind WASD to a left analogue stick, a game assumes a controller is being used, so if you try use mouse it either doesn't work or there is a pause whilst it works out switching input types
This game behaves like I wish more would in that yes it still thinks a controller is used (don't think that can be avoided) but I can still freely use the mouse meaning I get analogue movement and no disadvantage elsewhere. The only other slight annoyance is then prompts are shows for a controller but that's not an issue once you have the controls memorized anyway. Oh and you then cannot use WASD for anything else like moving sub tabs in inventory so just use mouse for that rather than press the button combo to restore keyboard back to regular.
