Problem with controls...?

So, I realized while playing that my weapons weren’t doing the fast switchy thing, and I proceeded to the options to rectify this. I check the appropriate box, click ok, and click apply. Get back in the game and I’m still not switching weapons all fast-like. Try again and again just to make sure I’m not doing something wrong and it still doesn’t work. I bring up the developer’s console to see exactly what the game is doing and I realize that every time I hit apply, this pops up:

exec: couldn't exec userconfig.cfg
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/config.cfg
Using joystick 'Xbox360 controller' configuration
JOY_AXIS_X:  mapped to Side (absolute)
JOY_AXIS_Y:  mapped to Forward (absolute)
JOY_AXIS_Z:  unmapped
JOY_AXIS_R:  mapped to Look (absolute)
JOY_AXIS_U:  mapped to Turn (absolute)
JOY_AXIS_V:  unmapped
Advanced Joystick settings initialized

So, what the eff?

Fast switching doesnt work properly for me either, so I just leave it off.
