Battlefield 6 Keybinds Not Working Fix Guide

Oct 13

Some players are running into a strange issue where Battlefield 6 refuses to register mouse buttons or scroll wheel inputs during keybinding. Mouse4, Mouse5, and scroll actions simply don’t appear when assigned. Here’s how to fix it and where to change bindings correctly.

How to Fix Mouse Keybinds Not Working

Go to Settings from the main menu and select Mouse & Keyboard. Choose Infantry/Passenger Keybinds. This is the menu where all mouse and keyboard actions are assigned.

You’ll see two vertical columns for each bind. The left column is for keyboard keys, and the right column is for mouse inputs. If you try to put a mouse button in the left column, it won’t register. Use the right column instead and click it once before pressing your mouse button.

If it still doesn’t work, unbind the current action first, then reselect the slot on the right side and press the mouse input again. The game often ignores secondary binds if both sides are already filled.

When Scroll Wheel or Extra Buttons Still Don’t Work

Sometimes scroll up, scroll down, or Mouse5 won’t register even when assigned in the right place. This usually happens when an overlay or mouse software takes control of those inputs.

Close or disable background apps like Logitech G Hub, Razer Synapse, or SteelSeries GG
Reconnect your mouse after Battlefield 6 is already open
Rebind the key, save, and then restart the game to force it to refresh input mapping
Make sure your mouse driver isn’t sending the inputs as macros instead of direct button presses

Most players fix it just by clearing both slots and rebinding directly in-game without external software running.

Where to Find All Keybind Options

The keybinding layout is a bit spread out across menus. Infantry bindings live under Mouse & Keyboard, third option from the top. Vehicle bindings, aircraft controls, and general actions each have their own category within the same tab.

Some toggles like crouch, sprint, or aim mode aren’t in the keybind list. They’re under separate gameplay menus, so check both Keybinds and Gameplay Settings if something seems missing.

Final Blurb

Battlefield 6’s binding system can look messy at first, but once you understand the split between keyboard and mouse slots, it works fine. Always bind mouse inputs on the right column, keyboard keys on the left, and restart the game if they don’t stick.

After that, your loadout and controls should feel exactly the way you want them to.

FAQ

Why won’t my side buttons bind in Battlefield 6

Because they must be placed in the mouse column, not the keyboard one. The left slot only accepts keyboard inputs.

Why isn’t scroll wheel input saving

It may be reserved by another program. Close mouse software or overlays, then rebind it directly in Battlefield 6.

Can I reset all my keybinds

Yes, scroll to the bottom of the Keybinds menu and select Reset to Default to clear and rebuild your setup.
