I've been trying to use the new input system, but encountered a very bizarre issue. So, when i connect my controller, it's properly detected and Player Input switches to the Gamepad Control scheme, however for some reason WASD still move the character around, but doesn't switch to KnM scheme, none of the other keys seem to work either. Weirder still, for some reason, if there's no controller connected it shows that there is no scheme selected at all for some reason? Any ideas how to fix this? First image shows the player input component without a controller connected and the second one shows the input actions menu.

are you trying to do a local device multiplayer thing where one character is one wasd and another is on gamepad or whatever?

No, just trying to make sure both control schemes work and that player can switch between them on the go
