Best key to map dodging on keyboard? the Control key is such a trash key to use

[Punished_Stallion]

i cant seem to find a good place to remap dodging. idk who TF has a freakishly long pinky finger to use the default control key. idk why devs insist on mapping anything to that abomination of a key lol

Mouse 4, the button by your thumb.

On keyboard no sure honestly I use the side buttons of my mouse, work perfect and fast

Pinky? Who the hell uses their pinky?

Use the side of your hand like we've been doing to hit ctrl since WASD started.

Or just do spacebar and rebind jump to something else. I personally don't dodge a lot. If you find a Thunderjaw running at you with full speed, and your only option is to dodge, then your probably screwed up somewhere. Game becomes extremely difficult if you play it like Dark Souls. Trap, tripwire placements or Blast sling/other explosions to stagger enemies work better for me personally.

It's not completely invincible. Iframe is pretty tiny. Wait until you meet a Rockbreaker lol. Small machines are easy to dodge... Bigger ones with bigger hit boxes can become impossible to dodge.

Edit: I only dodge when I screw up big times. Small machines get taken out before they even notice me. Bigger ones are kitted around into tripwires and traps...

Mine is an odd set-up:

Space for dodge, right mouse for jump, right thumb 1 for aim, right thumb 2 for crouch. All the rest are default.

Same. In any game like this a mouse thumb button is ideal since dodging is very common, it is quick, easy and efficient to access. Its my go-to button for dodge / parrying in any game.

This.

Having a mouse with several extra mappable thumb buttons is fantastic at emulating the feel of tight, easy-to-reach buttons like a controller has.

This is exactly what I use as well.

[Irion]

I use the left Alt key

[Etny2k]

I bind mine to middle mouse button click just hard to be shooting and rolling but you learn to undraw bow and roll instead.

[zuppaclub]

middle mouse button, because it's the most convenient for me and it's more important than focus.

V for me, works fine for my short fingers
