Yeah sure, here's the issue with the KB+M controls.

Keyboard controls are extremely abysmal
And here's why.
Who is their right mind designed this keyboard+mouse layout? I'll agree that some inputs are great and are a huge improvement from Dark Souls. But why the hell is my LEFT MOUSE binded to my LEFT WEAPON. Even if I want to fully customize my keybinds, there will be something that will interfere with me doing so. I need to say, this ♥♥♥♥ is honestly worse than Dark Souls' KB+M controls.

Allow us to FULLY customize our keybinds, and not some preset nonsense that makes the controls a million times more complicated.

This would suffice WAY more than what we have now.
LEFT MOUSE = RIGHT ATTACK (LIGHT)
RIGHT MOUSE = RIGHT ATTACK (HEAVY)
SHIFT = BLOCK
TAB = PARRY
SHIFT LEFT MOUSE = LEFT ATTACK (LIGHT)
SHIFT RIGHT MOSUE = LEFT ATTACK (HEAVY)

Instead we have this to deal with.
Weapons:
LEFT MOUSE = LEFT ATTACK (LIGHT)
LEFT MOUSE x2 = LEFT ATTACK (HEAVY)
RIGHT MOUSE = RIGHT ATTACK (LIGHT)
RIGHT MOUSE x2 = RIGHT ATTACK (HEAVY)

Shields:
LEFT MOUSE = BLOCK
LEFT MOUSE x2 = PARRY
RIGHT MOUSE = BLOCK
RIGHT MOUSE x2 = PARRY

Other than that, the game is absolutely brilliant. Can't say the same for keyboard+mouse inputs.

Any ideas on the Black screen issue found on starting a new game?

[Ysggran]

I play with the Mouse and Keyboard setup, whenever, and this happens very often, I click the right/left mouse buttons my characters does not respond at all. The longest I've spent without receiving a response was during my fight against the Last Giant where I was completely helpless for 30-40 seconds. The entire time I was frantically clicking in order to get a response out of my character so I could move in and deal with the annoying situation I was in.

Here's my issues with Keyboard and Mouse:

I can't use Mouse Wheel Up+ Down to switch between locked on enemies even if I don't use them as bindable keys.

I have two use two separate keys for a very similar function: One to open/close the menu, another to cancel actions.

The modifiers cause conflict with the mouse keys. So if say for instance I use shift to block and then left click to attack I will be unable to attack while holding my shield up. I have to release it. Works fine with other keys.

Xbox 360 prompts instead of keyboard and mouse ones. How ♥♥♥♥ing hard is it to do it properly?

Very badly arranged keys by default.

Video shows off most of these issues.

Many of the issues in the keys post that remain unresolved, or unable to use any work around seem to stem from using 1080 hd tv's as monitors. Mosy high end computers only have hdmi and dvi ports. Hope that random info helps that issue. I hop that one gets fixed quickly.

[Aye the beat go off?]

there is also the issue that many players (including myself) seem to have, that we are unable to see any items, bloodstains, or messages left on the ground as well as all the white fog walls seem to be static

[Just A Panda OK]

When I can actually get the game to launch (two times out of 20 or so tries) the screens don't advance. I can hear noises and inputs being registered with the controller, but the screens get stuck. I have to hit the steam overlay up and down to make the game advance, visually. I can still hear everything going on as it should be working.

There is a sound issue where Dark Souls II is forcably muting Voip applications like vent during co-op. mostly like due to its in built voip system? this is extremely frustrating and there seems to be no way to stop this.
