Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Keyboard Mapping Is Not Available In Settings -

SGWW3 notoriously hides keyboard options if it detects a controller is plugged in.

  • Use Steam Input or controller remapping

  • Use a hardware remapper or gaming keyboard software

  • Rebind in peripheral drivers

    • The Issue: You’ve just launched Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, ready to take on the role of a sniper behind enemy lines. You head into the Options menu to adjust your keybindings, only to find that the Keyboard Mapping section is greyed out, missing, or labeled "Not Available."

    This is a known frustration for PC players. The game often defaults to a "Controller" input scheme even when you are using a mouse and keyboard, locking you out of customizing your keys.

    Here is a step-by-step guide to fixing the input settings and unlocking your keyboard mapping. SGWW3 notoriously hides keyboard options if it detects

  • Rebind your keys as desired (left-click the action, then press your new key).
  • Click “SAVE & EXIT” or “Apply.”
  • Click “PLAY” to start the game.

    • Your custom key bindings will now be active inside the game.

    Some players (especially those using non-Steam shortcuts or Epic Games Store) may find the launcher is skipped automatically. In that case:

  • Locate the correct file:

  • Open with Notepad++ or standard Notepad.

  • Understand the syntax: The file uses Unreal Engine 4 syntax. A typical line looks like this: ActionMappings=(ActionName="Crouch",Key=C,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)

  • Create your custom mapping:

    • Critical Tip: Do not delete the original line immediately. Instead, comment it out by adding a semicolon ; at the beginning of the line. Then add your new line below it. This prevents the game from resetting your changes upon launch.
