Splitscreen input keyboard/gamepad

I’ve made a splitscreen racing game and want to control player 1 with the keyboard and player 2 with a gamepad.
However to do this I need to hook up 2 gamepads even though I’m only using one gamepad.
I’ve been having problem getting splitscreen inputs to work for over 3 weeks now.
Google gave no help and the answer hub had some similar questions, but most are unanswered or useless.
How can I setup the first gamepad to give input to player 2 instead of player 1.
Or get atleast get both players to work with the keyboard.

I have exactly the same problem and haven’t been able to find the answer.
I would like player 1 and player 2 to be controlled by the keyboard, and player 3 and player 4 by gamepads.

Did you managed to get this work ? im in the exact same problem implementing splitscreen in a racing game . Getting mad about these types of trivial problems in this engine .

Codehawk, I dont know if anything changed in 4.9, but the only solution was using 2 controllers.
The first controller and the keyboard get assigned to player one, the second controller gets assigned to player two. Very easy.
Using the keyboard and one controller for 2 players was not possible with blueprint alone.
