KEYBOARD GUIDE

[JakePrimeGaming]

Update 1

I changed from J,K,L,I Attack Controls to "; "(Semi-colon), " ' "(Apostrophe), "#" (Hashtag), "[" (Left Square Bracket) because I have more options such as Right Alt and I have more space with my right hand since I have fairly large hands.

Give it a shot :V

The Reason Why I Play Keyboard

Right, so let's get this straight. I ain't interested in spending money on a controller despite any reasons you may try to give me or how many people in my social circles do. Point is, I am here to MAKE YOU a keyboard warrior (quite literally). Also its funny when I beat controller players.

First things first, playing Melee on a mouse is painful as ♥♥♥♥. So, I prefer the use of a keyboard instead. Mouse can jump off a cliff. Our main concern is that we should not have to move our hands from our attack and movement keys at any cost to keep up with the fight.

The only requirements here is that you have a keyboard.

MELEE/BLOCK KEYS/VANISHING ASSAULT/TRANSFORMATIONS/SWITCHING/REVENGE COUNTER

Assign your Melee to ";" (Semi-Colon)
Assign your Ki Blast/Rush Chain to " ' " (Apostrophe)
Assign your Block to [ (Square Bracket) [/b]
Assign your Vanishing Assault to "#" (Hashtag)
Assign your Revenge Counter to Left Alt

Your index finger is responsible for Melee.
Your middle finger for Ki Blast/Rush Chain and Block.
Your ring finger for using Vanishing Assault.
Your index finger also has to manage using Revenge Counter.

As for transforming quickly or switching characters, I personally use W, A, S, D.
I put both the Switching Panel and Transformation Panel to either Enter or Bullet Point ( " . " ) . Depends on your preference.

I can choose my panels using the following buttons:

Panel 1 = A
Panel 2 = W
Panel 3 = D
Panel 4 = S

Trust me, this makes it more logical. Put it in and take a look. Also Spacebar is the quickest way to switch panels quickly whether you're wanting to transform or fuse.

Ascending & Descending

Spacebar works pretty well for my left thumb for both jumping and ascending. So that is fine as it is.
For Descending, I use E since my Index Finger can reach it pretty easily. It doesn't hinder me unless you found some crazy combos to ascend and descend constantly like BT3.

Perception/Short Dash/Step

Q for Perception.
Right Alt for Short Dash/Step

I use Right Alt as it is much easier to dash around without using my right thumb rather than sacrifice my left index finger to press the Short Dash.

Small, But Helpful Tips

I switched the Numbers that activate your Skills, Blasts and Ultimate to my Melee, Ki Blast/Block/Vanishing Assault key-binds. This makes it incredibly easy for me to just press any of those buttons to activate any of my skills without having to sacrifice a finger to press the Numbers.

Trust me, its a life saver. You could do the same with W,S,A,D but obviously experiment and figure out what you like.

This could be amazing for players who say use Arrow Keys, Numpad or hell, even play the keyboard vertically (Yes, that does exist. I think I saw a Youtube Video of a Rainbow Six Siege Player doing it).

CONGRATULATIONS KEYBOARD WARRIOR

Your hands should be now mostly be prepared to wreak havoc. Hopefully, you now feel more comfortable and do not need the feel to move your hands as much.

I am still in the midst of figuring out the best keyboard controls, so this post might receive an update if I figure something out or someone here has a better idea.

Hello, can you control the camera with the mouse ?

No, you cannot. I've tried and it won't work. You can use the arrow keys or maybe some other funky button configuration, but I genuinely advise against using the mouse at all costs.

I've just looked into it and apparently it's not bad at all, it doesn't matter that you can't move the camera, you can target with a key anyway and use the mouse sides buttons

Thank you! I will use your configuration. And for Short Dash/Step -> E.

Hello. It is a pleasure seeing fellow based chad keyboard users. Decent controllers are overpriced and have a life expectancy of a golden fishes memory, and personally I don't find them comfortable compared to a keyboard.

THANKFULLY this game is absolutely keyboard viable. Forget about the mouse, it doesn't do anything other than having 3 buttons.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my own controls:

Currently using arrowkeys for directional movement, space and Lctrl for up and down respectively; A for melee, S for block, D for dash, Q for perception, W for ki blasts, E for ki charge, R for revenge attack, X for transformation panel (Z ctrl space for selection), C for character change (Z X Lctrl space for their selections)

This is very arbitrary, but not without thought, you can go with many ways.
When deciding on your keyboard button configurations, all you need to worry about is 2 things:
1. combination convenience for your fingers. For example it's easy for me to press D with my index finger and then E with middle finger to fly fast.
2. For transformation, character swap and emote selections, you can select to bind buttons that have already been selected for other things, including base things like melee and ki blasts. This is because when you press and hold a panel, the game is smart like that to take meaning priority of buttons that you selected for that panel. For example if I hold E and press Q, my character isn't going to ki charge and then try to do perception. He'll ki charge and then do the respective skill

I thank you for your viewpoint. I've actually just tried out your configurations, and to be fair. I can see why it works for you, but I've gotten used to performing movements with my left hand, so right hand hand is a little iffy.
Smart though =-=)7

What about auto assists? What options do you have on and think are good for keyboard players?

Not sure what they do to help, but what I do know is that they override any input you perform which can be a pain, so I highly recommend not using assists if you can.
