@Nebuchaddy Can you share your rewrite with the new Input System?

@Brouilles A bit late, but I created a fork for this in case anyone else needs it. I've tested it on PC with a keyboard, an Xbox One gamepad and on an Android phone, it worked fine on all of them.

Amazing how it still works after 5 years <3

@PostleService That's because Unity hasn't touched their own UI system in 5 years. :-)

@mandarinx I got back to the code because it confused me why it wouldn't actually center on the selected option on option change.
Imho, You may be missing:
m_ScrollRect.normalizedPosition = m_NextScrollPosition;
after line 76
since You set the new m_NextScrollPosition but never tell the RectTransform to use the new position after the input
