Mouse and Keyboard or Controller?

[cocoKyoto]

Trying to figure out if I need to go out and get a decent controller or if mouse and keyboard is done well in this game.

Always mouse and keyboard for me

So far I have been using a mouse and keyboard. It feels good so far, I might hook up an xbox controller just to see but honestly there's nothing wrong with mouse and keyboard

[Naur]

the only downside with mouse and keyboard is no walk key. besides that, m+k is great

I Just put the Y to mouse thumb Button. Works better in fights

Mouse k/be all the way, since it's way more responsive when deflecting.

Mouse and keyboard even though the game recommends that you use a control pad...I just can't do it.

I'm not sure what responsiveness has to do with being the type of device, since they are both likely connected via USB.

I started with a controller because of the recommendation, but ended up trying mouse & keyboard out of curiosity. Having to relearn the mapping didn't feel worth the switch, though, but I didn't have any issues inherently with scheme/feel either.

If I had to guess what prompted Respawn to add the recommendation, it would be; the platforming. Maybe having an analog input allows for the finesse to make quick shorter jumps in succession? Don't these warnings usually appear in 2D platformers commonly? I haven't noticed any section or mechanic that seems to favor any input type, besides the one you are just comfortable with.

I've actually found the controller a bit easier with this game. The only problem I've run into is that I rebound a bunch of the keys (I prefer having attack and block on the triggers) and I have been unable to rebind the drop key. I want to assign it to like X or something but it just unbinds force attack or whatever it's bound to even if that action is something that you will never be using in the situation that you need to drop.

mouse and keyboard

Game is trying to convince you that a controller is better. But nope. Turning around quickly with M&K is much better. Don't even need to use the focus option.

When i play pc games i always use mouse&keyboard, i dont even own a controller.
I gave up on dark souls2 because it was unplayable with m&k, god thx this game works much better otherwise i would have refund it.

Mouse and keyboard for me. Having to use a thumbstick to rotate camera is what I personally don't like about controllers. Moving mouse if both more convenient and more precise for me.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one wondering were the walk button was on keyboard lol.

how do you swith from controller to keyboard?

[Thumper]

you don't, there both active. just bind the keys on the KB to your liking and don't use the controller. Or go in to device manager and disable the controller.
