Sim rig peripherals detected as controller, disabling mouse+keyboard

As soon as the game is opened, there is a popup in the bottom-left corner saying ‘Controller Detected’. The only button that works once that happens is the enter key allowing me in game, but leaves me unable to move, use skills, or enter menus. If I close the game and reopen, I have about a 1/7 shot of it not detecting the controller. Once I alt tab, it re-detects a controller and removes the ability to use a mouse+keyboard.

Plugged in is a Simucube wheelbase (off), SHH shifter, and Heusinkveld pedals. I’ve tried disabling controller support in Steam without any effect.

I’m unwilling to unplug other inputs because if I don’t replug them back into the right port then I have to recalibrate in my sim racing game. And that’s just a pain. Under an hour of playtime, so I requested a refund on Steam until this is resolved.

Having same problem with a hotas set up i have. Not going to unplug it for the same exact reasons.

It is so irritating beyond belief. Why wouldnt a simple key stroke of my keyboard re-enable it?

That’s unbelievably heavy-handed, I wonder what else in this game is like that. Easy decision to return this game.
