So my notebook computer has no Middle Mouse Button (Button number 2) and I can't disassemble stuff. But when I bought and installed an X-Box controller, the game didn't recognize the controller. How do I change this? When I hit [ESC] and go to Controls, the panel for Controller is there, but nothing I do will enter the appropriate controls.

Ideally, I need the little {X} button to disassemble items in my inventory.

Anyone know what I need to do to activate the X-Box controller for No Man's Sky? The X-Box One Controller is USB and I've calibrated it for the notebook.

I used the xbox one controllers via bluetooth and it was immediately recognized, I would start a support request to HG

Try turning off your touchpad? I know that the game will auto-switch between keyboard/mouse and a controller (a joystick via x360ce in my case) and it's *possible* that the touchpad keeps asserting "Hey, I'm a mouse and I'm here and active!" (or something) preventing the controller from, well, taking control.

You may also try remapping the keys. I've customized the layout a fair amount and ended up with the "pick it up" key on "T" (which looks kind of like an up arrow if you squint).

swiftshadow01: So my notebook computer finally and unexpectedly found the Xbox Controller.

But, I still have no Middle Mouse Button (Button number 2 and I can't disassemble stuff.

Is there any way to disassemble stuff when you play with a notebook computer and an Xbox Controller?

Remap. You should be able to swap a Mouse 2 control for Mouse 3 (RMB) or any unused keypad key.

HG does hard code some functions. Scrolling through the trade terminal sell/buy lists is always W/S even though all of my movement keys are S/X, for example. But since my "go backward" key is X and X was Build (IIRC), I moved Build over to G, etc. etc. Whatever works and whatever you're comfortable with.

The only caveat is to avoid a situation like the default layout where the RMB menu cancel function shares the RMB with "launch secondary weapon." Lots of inadvertant self immolation with the default layout.
