Step 1: Get the keyboard splitter

Note: Due to Steam blocking direct download links, I cannot just link the downloads here. I will guide you on where to get them.

djlastnight's Keyboard Splitter

Go to Google, and search for djlastnight keyboard splitter and go to the GitHub page.

Select the "Releases" tab on the right hand side.

Download the .zip file under "assets" from the latest release.

Create a folder on your desktop and place the files from the .zip file into the folder.

Run the application, install the drivers, and restart your computer.

Step 2: grabbing my preset

Create a new text file on your desktop. Open it, copy and paste the following text into it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <preset_data xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <preset name="STORM"> <button id="16">Escape</button> <button id="32">Backspace</button> <button id="64">None</button> <button id="128">None</button> <button id="256">U</button> <button id="512">O</button> <button id="1024">None</button> <button id="4096">Space</button> <button id="8192">J</button> <button id="16384">L</button> <button id="32768">I</button> <trigger id="65536">H</trigger> <trigger id="131072">K</trigger> <axis id="1" value="-32768">A</axis> <axis id="1" value="32767">D</axis> <axis id="2" value="-32768">S</axis> <axis id="2" value="32767">W</axis> <axis id="4" value="-32768">Q</axis> <axis id="4" value="32767">E</axis> <axis id="8" value="-32768">None</axis> <axis id="8" value="32767">None</axis> <dpad direction="1">One</dpad> <dpad direction="2">Three</dpad> <dpad direction="4">Two</dpad> <dpad direction="8">Four</dpad> </preset> </preset_data>

Save the file as STORM.xml - Make suure you change the filetype to "All Files"!

Step 3: Splitter setup

Launch the Keyboard splitter, and click presets -> Import.

Select the STORM.xml file we created.

Select "Yes" to add/overwrite presets.

Change "Slots count" from 4 to 1 and ensure "block keyboards" is checked.

Press the small button with two dots next to "Choose keyboard" and then press any key on your keyboard so the app knows what device is your keyboard.

Select the STORM preset from the drop-down menu.

Your splitter is now ready! The last part of this guide will show you how to use it.

Note: Every time you open the keyboard splitter, it will default to 4 slots and select the "Default" preset - Simply change 4 slots back to 1 and pick the STORM preset!

Step 4: How to use & controls

Once you've finished setting up the splitter, just press the "Start" button on the program.

If you get an error that says something like it was unable to plug in the virtual device, your drivers did not install correctly. Go to Step 5 to fix!

If no error occurs, you should now be able to use your keyboard as a controller. Note that your regular keyboard inputs are now blocked - if you leave them unblocked the game will register the keypresses as player 1 and player 2.

To block and unblock your keyboard, simply press the left CTRL key 5 times. You will hear a chime to indicate when your keyboard is blocked/unblocked successfully.
You can also press CTRL + ALT + DELETE at any time to stop the splitter.

-----------

My preset uses the default controls - you're welcome to change these to your liking!

Escape: Start/pause
Backspace: Back
WASD: Movement
Spacebar: A (Jump)
J: B (Melee)
L: X (Kunai)
I: Y (Chakra)
U: Left Bumper (Substitution)
O: Right Bumper (Block)
H: Left Trigger (Support 1)
K: Right Trigger (Support 2)
Q: Move Right Stick Left (Leader switch to Support 1)
E: Move Right Stick Right (Leader switch to Support 2)
1/2/3/4: Use Top/Left/Bottom/Right Item

Step 5: Driver issue

CAUTION: I am not responsible for any issues that arise from messing with your drivers. I recommend creating a System Restore point before following these steps. Follow these steps at your own risk.

If you have any problems trying to get the virtual controller to connect, you may need to follow these steps:

Go to the start menu and run "Device Manager"

Look for your "System Devices"

Search for the "SCP Virtual Bus Driver"

Right-click and uninstall device

Restart your computer.

After this, run the Keyboard splitter again and allow it to reinstall its driver.

If this does not fix your issue, you will have to create an issue report on the GitHub page. I cannot help you troubleshoot.

Thank you somehow i made it work, finally we can play this game together, with your help, very useful guide

This is a common issue with Steam Input with DS4 controllers. I do not own a DS4 controller so I cannot confirm any fixes, but a search online suggests disabling Steam Input for that controller may fix the problem.

Works great, but when my girlfriend plugs in her dualshock4 her controls are messed up and I have no idea how to change it for her, you have any idea? thanks for your help!
