# InputSystem: Conflict detected: Multiple actions bound to same control 'Keyboard/w'

- **ID:** `unity/input-system-binding-conflict`
- **Domain:** unity
- **Category:** config_error
- **Error Code:** `INPUT-202`
- **Verification:** ai_generated
- **Fix Rate:** 92%

## Root Cause

Two or more input actions in the same or different action maps are bound to the same input control, causing ambiguity.

## Workarounds

2. **Use 'Composite' bindings (e.g., 2D Vector) for movement to avoid separate bindings for each key.** (90% success)

## Dead Ends

- **Remove all bindings and re-add them manually one by one.** — This is time-consuming and may reintroduce the same conflict if the root cause (duplicate bindings) is not addressed. (30% fail)
- **Disable one of the action maps entirely.** — This may break intended gameplay functionality and is an overreaction. (50% fail)
