100%, though I hope they expand on the freeflying and let you also approach planets and land manually, even if all it does is the same loading in as from the map but with a disguised loading screen in a form of you approaching the landing spot instead.

You’d think, but Joelemz is doing 100% of all CoD’s on his YT/Twitch and people are cheating in old CoD games on consoles. If there’s online there are going to be cheaters. I even encountered some in old Chivalry…

Yeah that’s basically what you do, but the keyboard’s firmware needs to report itself as a gamepad for it to work, Wooting offers xinput and HID modes, iirc Keychron only does xinput and then Razer I don’t remember. Unfortunately the next best thing was some smaller company that had very limited beta support for such modes, and no other company gives a shit at all.

Alternatively Steam Input would have to add support for keyboards&mice, but the suggestions on Steam forums has been unanswered since 2021, so I highly doubt it would happen any time soon.

On the off chance one of your desired features is gamepad emulation - Wooting is the only one that has a full proper implementation of it via xinput emulation. Keychron has partial support and Razer has full support but in a different manner (don’t remember the specifics).
