Keyboard Mouse not working in-game

[Mechanico88]

PvZ gwf2 - No keyboard or mouse in game.Help!

msi ge62 6qd

nvidia driver 361.91

intel hd driver 15.4364

I see others have similar issue - any resolution / troubleshooting hints?

I got it working - I had to go into nvidia control panel and turn the global setting from "use integrated graphics" to the nvidia card.

I'm a newbie gaming laptop owner - why would I want the default to be intel integrated graphics instead of nvidia 960m? (ok, power efficiency.. but not a concern when plugged in)

Also found out (the slow way) that the nvidia output has to go through the intel integrated to get to the display, so can't just disable intel graphic adapter from the device manager.

I would really appreciate a little more detailed advice on how to actually change the settings? I have AMD driver.

Instead of the "Geforce Control Center", you have to use the "Catalyst Control" equivalent.

The problem seems to be that I have only a very limited version of Catalyst Control Center... seems funny that a new game has a glitch like this.. or maybe "funny" is not the right word..

So if your driver set is incomplete, that's the GAME's fault?  How hard is it to obtain a proper set of updated driver software?  http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/technologies-gaming/catalyst

I have the same problem. Mouse and keyboard not works when this game starts. I have laptop HP with i5, Win10 64 , AMD Radeon R5 M330. When I click (Shift+F1) and after few seconds (Shift+F1) again then -after some troubles sometimes mouse and keyboard starts working.

None of AMD's "R5" series qualify you and/or your machine for official support.  The R5s are well below the game's official minimum HD 5750 video graphics circuit board's performance.  You should EXPECT more graphical difficulties of various kinds, and you cannot complain, since you are ignoring the game's requirements.
