No KB+mouse in VR?

What the deuce? Whenever I launch via steam VR the keyboard and mouse are inresponsive, and I only see a controller option in the menu, is this for real? Why would anyone ever want to play a first person game with a controller?

    While some might like controllers, I think forcing controllers instead of KB + M is a horrible idea, on the level of something Apple would pull. However, I don't think it's intentional.

    I ve seen a couple of workarounds, but sadly none of them worked for me. Can anyone verify if its a bug and its being worked on pls?

    I ve tried playing with a controller but its just abysmal...

    Thx, but how would that help me? Can I remap the gamepad analog axii (if thats a word) to the mouse and the buttons to the keyboard?

    Are you using an Oculus or the Vive?

    Vive seems to have some issues. Got Subnautica for a friend who usses it over Christmas, and he hasn't been able to play.

    Well I was using the Rift, so both have issues. Really hope this is a bug and will get fixed soon.

    Also running a Rift, with no keyboard or mouse response in game. Checking numerous other posts on various forums, the problem *seems* to be the game *seeing* a controller plugged into the system, even when there is none. Apparently, when the game sees a controller, it disables the keyboard/mouse input. Unfortunately, I have NOT seen any developers post on this issue, so this is speculation. If a dev does read this, could we please get a settings option or at least a launch option to force keyboard and mouse response in game?

    I've got a friend that can't play until the Vive gets fixed (he said something about the view being stuck on the floor or something, which might be this problem).

    Yeah I red that too, but the problem still persists after unplugging every joystick and controller.

    I'm on the Vive, and keyboard and mouse never worked in VR mode for me.

    They should add support for the wireless Vive controllers, even without motion controls, so users are not bound to a seated experience.

    When is the update expected? Recently purchased game for my Vive but mouse doesn't work in fabricator (sporadic everywhere else really). Had 3 hours of fun running around exploring (beautiful) but explored too long to get money back from Steam. I really can't play this without the mouse working......help! If someone is considering this game for VR before the update....don't bother.

    I would guess the update will come out sometime in the middle of May. Unless a dev is going to prove me wrong. Might be closer then i think....

    The next update is due any day. It was going to be today but we ran into some last min issues. Will only be a few days.

    Or, you can switch the the Experimental Steam beta version.

    Thanks for the update Obraxis! Hopefully the update allows me to play the game. I'd really like to.

    I'm using a Vive with no other controllers (I power down the Vive controllers after I start Subnautica from within SteamVR). When I try to launch, I am warned that I have no compatible controllers, even though I have a keyboard and a mouse. I launch anyway. I can see the ocean (beautiful!) and a menu with three entries.

    Subnautica comes up fine (and the visuals are stunning) but I cannot get the mouse or keyboard to work at all. When I press F2, a page loads in my web browser rather than resetting viewpoint. I can get some buttons to highlight by moving my head, but at that point clicking the mouse button does nothing, nor do keys like Enter or Space. Right now, the game does not work at all.

    Seems like some people are having huge success and can't understand what the problem is, while others can't get the keyboard/mouse to work at all.

    Puzzling.

    Can anyone make a constructive suggestion other than "buy a game controller"? This was supposed to be fixed almost a year ago.

    Can you please add aim assist for controllers, it's currently extremely hard to aim using a controller.

    When I use a USB keyboard, I can play both in VR and in non-VR. When I use a Logitech wireless keyboard (my default), I cannot play at all. So, Subnautica ignores some keyboards that the OS can see correctly. No wonder everyone is confused about this.

    I'd settle for the PDA screen to be a bit farther from my eyes in VR.

    I agree about the PDA screen. I was going cross eyed. And I could not figure out how to get rid of it!

    After more than a year, the keyboard and mouse is still not working in VR
