Newcomer / Intro how to keep the game from using the sixaxis input from my dualshock 4

[aardappelianen]

im a returning player after i left almost a year ago, played almost 3k hours on a playstation controller and now i cant figure out how to keep steam or the game from using the sixaxis as mouse input anymore.
i cant use my mouse ingame or out of game anymore when its running.
i have ds4windows which i used in the past but i cant figure out how i got it to work again.

I have never used a PS controller with a PC or DS4Windows, so it's a shot in the dark:

It sounds like Elite Dangerous has nothing to do with it. There are troubleshooting tips regarding DS4Windows and Steam here: https://ds4-windows.com/troubleshoot/

Could be a faulty DS4Windows profile, too. Maybe deinstalling and reinstalling DS4Windows helps?

yeah i tried every thing, it was a trivial matter in the past so i feel like something new has popped up, for the time being i made the game playable by removing mouse aim from controller input to stop my ship from jerking around and i have my bluetooth dongle on a switch so i can release my mouse when i need galmap
