how do use the wheel without getting stuck on it ?

I have a lot of trouble using both the wheel under the Q key (the one with all options) and the emote wheel.
i first tried using the "Hold" setting : I keep the key pressed. Then I move the mouse... and... it's'... not.... moving....
I have to do HUGE wide gestures with the mouse for the wheel to go around. And 90 % of the time it is extremely difficult to end up on the option I want.
Who programmed this ? Moving mouse left/right should move to a new symbol, but it does not.

So I tried the "Toggle" option. Oh boy.....
I press B for emotes. I can select an emote and... nothing works to validate the choice.
Mouse button left, or right ? Nothing happens.
Tried EVERY single key on the keyboard ? Nothing happens.

Could NOT get out of the emote wheel. So I went back to the main menu using escape and then coming back.

Surprise : the emote wheel is still there. I am still STUCK in the wheel and NO KEY or button press on the mouse gets me out of it.

How do you fix this ?

How do you get a wheel where it is both EASY and FAST to select an item on the wheel. You know, like in all other games where this issue never happens ?
 
Set wheel navigation to WASD instead, should be much better from what i hear.

I use a gamepad and have emote wheel on "tap" with sysmenu button *(Hold) (Hold function disabled) instead.
*Holding down a key when binding will set it to "XYZ" (Hold).
Using the Lstick to toggle between the two. (use Q?)

I have to end hover over a function for it to select on the emotes, while item menu is UI_select.
 
The only way to get unstuck has been to move to Horizons only, then go back to Odyssey.

I have now turned off mouse when in the wheel. This clearly doesnt work properly : once inside the menu.. moving the mouse either down or up, left or right or doing arcs, half of the time the selection does not move at all. I have to do it again, and again until it starts moving. So I turned off the mouse input.

I have binded the "wave" to a key. And I turned off the B key that opens that wheel obviously so this crap will never open again on my screen.
Ever.

Did the same as Planwalker above: WASD for the wheel menu, but for emotes, binded them on the numpad on the right, works fine, and I'm glad that for some reason I didn't try the mouse thing after reading your misadventure with that!
 
The only wheel I could* get working was the one with the Apex shuttle call, I have set up everything I could on the other wheel to direct bindings and did the same with the emotes.

*It has been many months since I used it so I might have forgotten how to use it, as for the others it has been even longer so I would need to read through the bindings to find what is where.
