Keyboard&M or Contoller?
Which one controls better or are they pretty balanced?

Both are ok for this game, but I prefer controller.

Controller is the bettet choice.

Mouse camera controls are a bit twitchy (can be scaled down) but otherwise they're at parity, at which point it boils down to what your preference is. There is no "better" choice between the two, just what you personally prefer.

I didn't have a controller that worked back when I started the game in August, so I used a mouse and keyboard.

When I began my second playthrough a few weeks ago, I bought a new Xbox PC controller and tried it out, but I was so used to the keyboard controls that the controller felt sluggish, so I went back to that.

I would say controller is slightly better here, but it doesn't much of a difference.

The port is done so well that either option is fine. Same can be said for the Sky games. Mouse or controller, it runs smoothly.

As a diehard mouse and keyboard player that don't own a controller, I can confirn that the keyboard bindings for the controller keys are quite weird and not possible to customise. And the helpfile only shows the controller.

What do you mean they're weird? It's basically just WASD, and there's customization for pretty much everything in the config tool (not just keys but also which icons to show in the interface).

The only thing lacking is mouse support for the UI, but it's a console UI so doesn't really matter (it works just as well with keyboard as it does with controller).

I don't like that you can't remap camera controls out of the mouse (without AHK), but otherwise it's fine enough.

The movement keys are pretty straightforward, but the rest are not where I want them om a PC-keyboard. Took me to chapter four to figure out that it is the TAB-key that corresponds to the x-button on the controller. If this is customizable they have hid that pretty well. Believe me I searched. For hours.

This is a minor gripe as I loved the game and am really looking forwards to chapter 2.

Right click on the game in your library and select 'Launch Configuration Tool'. Once the Configuration Tool pops up on your screen look under 'Input' and 'Button Promts' for the 'Configure Mouse/Keyboard Controls'. Click that and customize it any way you want. When you are finished, remember to save.
