Keyboard and menus on a PC

[Cyberience]

It seems the game is more aimed at controller players. I play on a PC with keyboard and mouse, and menus is painful. have to press right mouse then E to use or even exit menus. Stupid if you ask me.

I play kb/m aswell. I use ESC to get into menu. It works, but for sure the controller is more convenient. I do prefer kb/mouse though, have played all souls games like this.

Edit: Also, reconfigure key combinations you find tedious!

yup. pretty much intentional to make it horrible to navigate. cant even use mouse on the map, have to scroll with cursors. its pretty much their intention but I say its lazy and bad game design.

In the settings, you can change the prompts to KB+M. Why it doesn't do this by default is beyond me. Anyway, once you do, you will see the back button (by default) is Q.

this right here, it's under sound and display options, and you can switch all the menu prompts to kb/m This one little change made the game totally playable for me.

KB+M is definitely playable, but as it's been said, you have to change the setting so the game shows you keyboard shortcuts and not controller buttons in tutorials or in-game.
The only trouble with M+KB is jump attacks, they're really too hard in the heat of the battle, as they require to hit 3 keys and click the mouse all at the same time. If this was rebindable, it would be just perfect.

require 2 clicks, jump and charged attack, right? Kinda works for me with jump on F and heavy attack on MB4. Tried mmb for jump but I prefer F. Or am I doing this wrong this whole time?

it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ disgrace that they've not done anything about this despite being virtually fellated by all games since the launch of the game.
how the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell is it so difficult for them to make the pissing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ menus work on pc.
disgusting.

I haven't noticed ANY issues with k&m in any souls game tbh, but then again I've been playing games for like 25 years and k&m is just a part of my body I guess lul, and I'm using PS5 controller only for platformers/side scrollers. Always using custom keybinds and in ER for example jump heavy attack for me is side mouse button (I have 6, all used XD jumping with side mouse button is quite fun) + middle click. So I don't know why you say "If this was rebindable" because they actually are rebindable.

You actually own a controller and actively choose to not use it in souls games?

I guess some things truly are beyond understanding.
