Driving the Car?
What controls are used when driving the car about town? WASD? The mouse, like in the Witcher?

I suggest using a controller

After a bit of practice, I find the arrow keyboard keys work pretty well.

I find the WASD keys and mouse very hard to use.

So you can use the mouse like how you maneuver Roach in The Witcher?

TBH I'd have to boot up the game to check how the mouse works for driving. The <^> keyboard arrow keys alone work fine for me...they just take a bit of practice. [Your space bar is the brake].

There are Nexus mods that improve the driving characteristics as well I like Cyber Vehicle Overhaul but you have to install Cyber Engine Tweaks to run it, and that may be more than you want to do so early in the game. Actually, with Patch 1.7 coming in the near future, sticking with the base game and no mods at all is probably for the best.

Driving on keyboard cannot be steered by mouse. Steering is done by keys. Keyboard controls can make driving cars pretty awkward but bikes are easier and quite usable. I believe there are mods that can make the driving experience better but I've never used them.

I'd strongly recommend getting a controller, to be honest, because the difference between driving with keyboard and with controller is night and day. The game allows you to swap between controller and keyboard and mouse whenever you like without having to do anything special, so you can use the controller just for driving and then just use the keyboard for walking around as normal.

I think it's perfectly fine to drive with my movement keys (ESDF) and use my mouse to look around while doing so. I do this when I can't be bothered to plug my xbox controller in. I bought it for the sole purpose of Cyberpunk's driving, and while it is comfortable, I personally do not find it absolutely necessary to enjoy the game.

The game thinks the car is going much faster than it looks like it is going. Which is why people try to corner at what the game says is 120 mph when it looks about 50. Keep the car speed under 90 mph in the city, or brake for corners, and you will be fine.
