I find it easier to play with a keyboard and mouse, thank you very much

Just like Fallen Order, I tried playing with a controller. I found I didn't like it. Again.
It's been a while since I played Fallen Order, and I lost the configuration I used.
As expected, the devs had once again only given minimal thought on the keyboard layout.
So it's back to trial and error reconfiguring the controller scheme.

So I'll share a bit of my settings so far, in case it might help others here.

I rebind keys on the fly by trial and error as new abilities unlock. At this point, I wish I had more buttons on my mouse, lol. But I only got two thumb buttons, and the standard 2 buttons and clickable wheel. I also got a thumb-wheel for horizontal scroll, but that does not seem to work correctly in the game, so it might as well not be there.

And so, I bound the thumb buttons to the most important skills for my playstyle. Push and dodge. I wish I had a third button for pull, but it's fine.

I set pull to Q. That makes pull-and-hold a bit awkward, but the only times I need to do that for longer than a second, are the puzzles, where I can afford to be a bit awkward.
Why did I not bind dodge to something else? Because the dodging also often comes with a need to move quickly, so I need my left hand firmly on WASD-SHIFT-SPACE.

Stim-healing, I rebound to 2, for quick and easy access.
Focus got bound to left-ctrl, and confusion to the same thumb button as push.
At some point I ended up rebinding BD's action key to 4. Can't recall exactly why at this point without launching the game (thus closing this page), I think the default was R?

If that was it, R is a rapid action key, and BD's action key is only used when exploring.
I don't remeber what, but I had a better use for the R-key, even if I haven't used it in the last hour of gameplay.

Anyway, this was a quick ramble on the keyboard layout. There is more, but I can't think of it right now.
Please share your quirky layouts.

I thought the default Fallen Order keybinds were great so I just rebinded this game to match that one for consistency, works great for me.
