Matter of preference.

But K&M is better for aiming.

While Controller for movement.

You can use both I use the kb + m and have beaten the game fine enough. Just comes down to personal prefference, altho i heard controller is better

What do you like? Try both.

I played Kingdom Hearts 3 on Game Cube controller on PC, but I play Elden Ring with keyboard and mouse.

If i recall ER doesnt have a PS layout, only K&M and Xbox.

It can work, but youre gonna have to remember what each button does.

You have to plug it in with the USB-C cable, but yes.

Use racing sim

I play with my PS5 controller.
The button layout is only for xbox or keyboard and mouse, does not bother me though.

Depends on what what will be cheaper to replace after you break it in a gamer moment.

Whatever you are personally best at using for action games. Elden Ring is not the best game to learn a new peripheral on.

The game plays perfectly fine using either and may even be a bit better with Keyboard\Mouse as those are usually much easier to configure for optimal response. But, if Controller is your main action game device, use that for sure.

Good Luck

Same here. Just have big hands and decades on KBD/M. I have tried using Controller and simply cannot invest the time to learn it for the payoff it would yield in my environment. I only play on computer monitor and own no console system.

Either works, but if you do plan on playing the game with a KB+M, you may have to rebind some keys.

If you play all games with KBM, then play this one with KBM, too. It works fine.
If you are used to controller, then go controller.
