How are the mouse-keyboard controls?

[EmperorC3]

On par with elden ring/dark souls, better, or worse?

elden ring is better for M/K but is actually good but have some ...

Only thing i changed was the parry button from SHIFT to the side button on my mouse, everything else is fine

Better and worse.

Better: In previous soulslikes the slightest movement of my mouse would make me switch targets. LOOKING AT YOU NIOH 1. It takes a genuine flick of the mouse to switch targets in the game.

Worse: game doesn't support multikey keybinds. Not an awful thing in the game really since it doesnt rely on too many keybinds.

Unchanged: sprint and dodge still on same keybind.

It works fine for me, even tho i need a third part programm because i dont use wasd and you cant change them.

Controls are fine imo.

only thing bugging me is the fact that I have to have heavy attacks bound to my keyboard so I can parry/block properly

Considering that ER has non-rebindable map key (g) in the middle of the keyboard, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up any attempts to move outside of wasd block - I'd say both games feel similar. LoP has WASD hardcoded (also C and MWheel). If you use WASD you will manage, if not better have rebindable [gaming] keyboard. Of course forget anything going beyond barebone port (like focusless target lock mode or non-hardcoded menu/inventory keys).

It's pretty good. I haven't used gamepad even once.

I played Elden Ring on KB + M, as well as Lies of P. They are both perfectly fine. I'd say the only thing that's a tiny problem on Lies of P is that you cannot set your right mouse button for parry because you have two different attacks. The default for Parry is Shift, and for Dodge Space. I just switched those to Parry is Space, and it's great. Some people use Parry on a Mouse button too, but I found that my keyboard reflexes is much faster than mouse reflexes, since the Parry window is tight. Hope this help.
