Were you by chance using a keyboard?

And mouse, of course.
Not to be presumptuous, but I can't help but feel a bit condescended to for using a keyboard. Considering this is a PC exclusive, I feel like this isn't unreasonable. On top of that, It seems like half of the controls (movement, jumping, sprinting) can't be rebound? If I could set keys for looking left and right and reconfigure they controls for mouseless play, I bet I would be able to make do.
At least you have keyboard controls at all, unlike Trailblazers.
