Hello guys, I've had the same problem over here. When I start the game SoT on my Xbox series S my keyboard will sometimes not register. But when it does register and when I log onto the server my mouse does not turn 360 degrees. And the odd thing is when my mouse works my keyboard doesn't. It's annoying. The only solutions I have found are these two out of trying different techniques since the day the glitch started:
And keep in mind these are for people who have 15-30 minutes to spare.
- You log onto SoT and are lucky and both your keyboard and mouse work (Worked for me only 2 times out of every day of this glitch since the Feb update)
- This method is the method that I say works 20% of the time for me but is your best bet.
- First what you do is try and get your keyboard to NOT work once you log in and your mouse TO WORK (meaning it can turn 360 degrees successfully when logging into a server). A way I like to check this quickly is when you first log into the game screen and it says "Press any button to continue" Press one of your keyboard keys multiple times and if it doesn't register you well so far.
- Then after that use your mouse or controller to log into a server since your keyboard does not work. Once you log into the server and wake up in the tavern, make sure your Mouse can turn 360 degrees and can do all the necessary things. Once you have these two things checked off go to the Xbox menu and press "Quit" for SoT so you restart Sea of Thieves but make sure you Do NOT leave the session properly meaning do not leave using the normal way to leave, just quit the game. This is because when you restart Sea of Thieves press 'Quit' and come back into the main menu it will ask you to rejoin, but if you left the session properly it would not give you the option to return. (You can also restart the entire Xbox instead of the game, but I haven't found an advantage in that.)
- ANYWAY, after you press quit without leaving properly keep going back to the menu where it says "Press any button to continue" Keep pressing a key on your keyboard, and if it doesn't work keep restarting the game until it does. Once your keyboard works, rejoin your previous session and it should work.
The idea of this method is to join a game where your mouse works, then restart your game until your keyboard works then rejoin the session where your mouse worked.
Now the reason why I say this only works about 20% of the time is because sometimes your mouse will just not register even when it did before restarting the game, but if this happens restart the WHOLE process on a different server and keep retrying. If you have any questions let me know.
