Having fight stick connected to second port, and a xboxone pad connected to the first (as I sometimes need the pad in other games) don't even show the keyboard as an alternative, (and it can't be used too look around.)

I don't even want to know what would happen if I had my FFB Wheel connected too, as it usually takes #1 USB spot no matter where I plug it in, and it gets highest priority in most fightinggames

Actually KoF games are most eager to ignore all but the 3 'first' inputs, 1. Wheel, 2 Keyboard, 3. pad :/ GGXRD does the same.

So as a workaround, just plug in something else, and you don't see the keyboard even if you want too.

My xbone controller and fightstick are both connected and recognized as p1/p2, prompts still flashing :/

Other ASW games (like BlazBlue Centralfiction) have option to set the controller type (so can be controller, keyboard, or both). This one doesn't have that yet, so it's always "both".

+1 bump
Dunno how to fix this

mod has fix for this, if you really need that

It's really irritating indeed. I thought it was a Steam Controller thing but now I know its just a crap system poor developed.
