Still awful PC port, needs a fix

Bought the game full price early on, found the game unplayable on a PC (I I hate controllers so I game on a PC, I'll give up gaming before using one don't tell me to use one) the keyboard setup is unusable and I found no way to make is so. You can change the key bindings, but the duel-use BUTTON, while usable on a CONTROLLER is not usable on a keyboard , they MUST be separated because a keyboard isn't a controller and doesn't respond the same way.

This game as is, doesn't work on a keyboard and never will.

Dual binding has locked PC keyboard players out of the game, It far to late for a refund and I "played" the game (a frustrating and bad experience.) My friend tried on keyboard and a controller and said he could only play on controller leaving me out.

Every time I see this expensive unplayable game on my list it pisses me off, console to PC port should be the first thing they tell you so I can make sure to avoid them in the future.

It's the single key bound to 2 functions that doesn't work on a keyboard, it needs to be separated.

3rd party rebinding tools exist for apps and games with poor key rebinding settings...

You are probably old fermisoft players who like their layout I understand, but this is keyboard hell to me. I was one of the first players past some of the bosses in the early release, I find the game not difficult at all , but UNCOMFORTABLE, and CUMBERSOME, weirdly so,

it's keyboard hell.
Please Let us remap ALL OF it and give us some options, I don't care what other previous games did, or that the devs obviously have never used a keyboard or in face seen one, having evolved on a different planet with 3 hands and a reversed thumb. You got used to , it , you may be to young to remember when UI's didn't completely suck for PC players.

Believe it or not, there are far better ways of doing things. It's bad enough we have to suffer with UI's designed for consoles, but having controls THIS BAD, on a AAA title is just unacceptable. Fermisoft is simply off my list. I just deleted the game.

It's SAD that the PC games of 20 years ago had so much better UI's than today.

ESC means ESC! it does one thing on a PC , the SAME thing all the time, it goes back one menu and if you spent you life hitting ESC to go back , that's what you are gong to hit and it's wrong. you ESC out of a menu, not into it!

Let me remap it! It won't let you! you can't remap G ether, why in the @#!! would you make me move my hand OFF the mouse to hit an arrow key?? Seriously?? You defend this hot mess?

Why??

What? If you wanna go back to menu then simply go esc - System Menu - Last tab - Exit to desktop, or menu.......

"This is a strange regression from all of the Dark Souls games on PC: there are some functions Elden Ring simply does not let you change. The key binding options don't include an entry for how you access the main menu (Start on a controller): It's hard-bound to Esc. It also doesn't include an option for the map, which is hard-bound to G ("View" button on Xbox, touchpad on PlayStation).

What a strange omission. Even Dark Souls 1 let you change the menu key!

Letting us rebind those options is an obvious first step, but more important is divorcing how they work on a controller from how they work on a keyboard. Because Esc is used to bring up the menu in-game—which totally makes sense for a controller's Start button!—it can't be used on the keyboard to back out of options screens. That's the Esc key's whole purpose in life! On a PC Esc should always be able to back out of menus, even if you wouldn't do the same with a Start button. It makes sense as a literal translation of the controller function to the keyboard but not a practical one, which is also the case for how Elden Ring deals with your inventory. "

Seems like a lot of people agree.
