R F E, pretty much the only 3 keys for fighting with KB/M if I remember right.

EDIT: This might also help - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1933827566

Hey Guys, Im still getting my butt kicked fistfighting on PC/Keyboard. Do I only use the F,E,R keys or do I tap those in harmony with the mouse buttons? Many thanks.

You don't need the mouse at all. Hold R when your opponent is swinging in order to block, tap F three or four times to hit him. Pressing E will allow you to grab him and if his health is low enough you can then tap F a few times to hit him while he is held.

When grappling, what can one do? Usually stuff happens to fast. Also how to not kill people when fist fighting?

When fighting, a white flash ending the fight usually means they are only knocked out.

This helped me get a little better at fists. Prob for me is I keep killing my opponents. I hit one bounty with the F and it killed him. I am guessing some random luck is involved. I get the F for knock down and hog tie confused with the F for punch. Next I'll work on my mouse buttons and try to stop the pistol whipping and shooting :)

Thankyou so much very appreciated. I had just about given up finding a simple explanation. ..:lunar2019grinningpig:

this also happens when chasing someone, and you left click once to knock them over without grabbing, the character pulls out a gun after the enemy is knocked over

Things you need to know for PvP brawling -

Running and hitting F is a tackle to the ground, assuming both players spam F at the same speed (macro) while having set the assist for that to "hold", the person with the most stamina wins this struggle. PROTIP: Peak Condition works in melee too.

If your enemy hits F at the right time while you try to tackle him, you end up in a standing struggle, which can have several outcomes.

Tackling from the side can be easily countered by spamming F, you will roll your enemy off to your side.

Tackling from behind is an instakill, you can't struggle out of this one.

Running and hitting the mousebutton is a shoulder push, which is a great setup for just shooting them on the ground.

There are plenty of other fine nuances to this, but that's a good starter kit of things to know.

Grappling seems broken to me. I got the daily challenge to grapple NPCs to the ground, done it several times and it doesn't count.
