so confused, can i no-recoil on rust PC or not

[cughin]

so everything i watched before getting this lead me to believe i could do the following

plug S1 into pc,
plug my keyboard mouse into it,
program a macro
set macro for no recoil to a hot key,
blast away...

instead i plug it in
plug M+K in and lose all functionality of them (app still reads the movements)
and i cant see a rust profile even though there a post saying there is one

im only interested in playing on pc and RUST,

all the console features are just a bonus that i might look into later

some help or guidance would be appreciated

Connect your mouse and keyboard to the S1 first, then connect the S1 to the PC.

so i have tried this and its the same result, mouse is inoperative yet it still registers the movements in the app

*mouse is a Logitech g502, and keyboard is a k95, both are indicated as compatible

Hi,

So it can't be because of the g502, I have that too. Does the app show your mouse and keyboard? You can also create a custom game profile if the game Rust is not listed.

Hi!
I think you still need to plug in controller, set rust on pc controls on that controller, and then you can set game profile and configure all reasnow goods..

[Willwas82]

You don't need a controller on the PC for this. I just recorded it.

Actually, you NEED controller, even on pc, because reasnow emulates gamepad signals from k/m signals, otherwise it is just usb hub with no additional settings

[Willwas82]

Hm, it works for me without a controller. I can also create macros. But maybe it helps if a controller is connected.

[Willwas82]

If no controller is connected to the S1, an XB360 controller is automatically simulated / emulated on the PC

Thanks for the responses,

so i got it working, the issue was i needed to have steam starting in big picture mode so it forces controller support.. i was trying it the normal way

some notes for others

* i suggest having 2 keyboards and mice connected (1 to reasnow 1 to pc), it makes it aiot easier to tweak ingame settings that you wont be able to access with the controller ( such as console commands for sensitivity )

* i did not require a controller to be connected, it defaults to 360 controller


appreciate the help

try "keyboard & mouse passthrough" in "global settings",
it will send your keyboard and mouse outputs to PC directly instead of turning them into a controller.

Will that still enable you to use the macro ability? Or does that get lost when enabling passthrough? TIA

macros can only be used in controller mode, not in keyboard&mouse mode.
but you can switch between these 2 modes easily.

Maybe an S1+C1 bundle will be a good choice for you,
just one set of mouse and keyboard will do.
