Mouse and Keyboard Thread

[Garrett]

If you could let me know how you are finding the game on M+k? That would be great ;)

I totally hate playing games on a controller - as I'm sure many do

Uh Yes... they are. Elden Ring for example was shockingly bad on PC with MKB when it first came out. Just one example of many.

Anyway. I am not going to reply further to you. I just would like people's opinions.

Adios.

Mouse and keyboard is amazing in elden ring. I'll give you an example. You know how Dodge is on button release instead of button press for controller? On PC you can map Dodge to scroll wheel up or down, and when you do it the Dodge is instant. That alone made me switch to mouse&keyboard

Generally speaking, if a game has rebindable controls for KBM, you can usually make it feel decent. My partner also refuses to play with controllers, so I hear a lot about this kinda stuff from her.

So me asking why wouldn't the game be fine isn't a real answer? Clearly if I had an issue I woulda said so.

Well, you're answering the question with a question. Would that really be considered an answer?
That being said, although I was using controller for Elden Ring on the first playthrough, the second playthrough on mouse and keyboard was completely fine. No issues, in fact it was way nicer seeing as I could mod keybindings.

Being a lefty it can be a bit tricky rebinding keys but other than that everything seems fine. One small gripe is a don't see how you can delete a key binding.

One good way to delete/remove a keybind that I found is to assign the secondary button same as the primary button. Eg. In the keybinds, if you set "R" as the secondary button (i.e., same as the primary button) for the "Select Quickfire weapon", it automatically removes the secondary button.

Hope it helps! Cheers!

You can just select what you want to remove and instead of selecting a buttong for it, hit Backspace. This will remove the keybind for that slot. That option isn't shown on screen while in the keybind menu though, probably a bug I'm guessing.

I'm doing okay with M+KB although I may remap a few keys...I may even experiment with my mouse sidekeys for dodging...

My main difficulty is with the taskbar on my monitor popping up, and I'd REALLY like to deactivate my Windows key while the game is playing. Any suggestions?

Are you hitting Windows instead of Alt when dodging? Anyways, I've set my mouse buttons to one for dodge and one for heavy attacks. Felt really awkward to hit Alt to dodge, especially since you need it so often. And I set right mouse button to block, because who thought Q was a good default lol.

Block - dodge - toggle aim - sneak - special attack - throw items - have all those moved to mouse - super smooth and easy to use.

Yes...hitting Windows instead of ALT. I'll try remapping my mouse buttons if I can figure out how. I did remap E to F, since after thousands of hours in Cyberpunk using F for Function is pretty much instinctive for me now.

My mouse isn't that complex...and I'd rather not have to learn a whole lot of new ways of playing. It's all good.

Yup, hitting Windows instead of Alt is a classic lol. Depending on your keyboard you should be able to disable it (gaming mode and whatnot they call it iirc) or just totally disable the key in Windows itself.

But I highly recommend trying to play mouse (thumb)buttons. You assign them like any other key, just press them when you're in the menu for it. If you want to remove an already assigned key, then go into the keymapping menu and instead of pressing (...) to map hit Backspace. This will remove the assigned key. (UI doesnt show this option, probably bug)

Or back in the day...just remove the key altogether ;P.

You can remove keybindings with backspace. It doesn't tell it anywhere, i just stumbled onto it by luck

After an hour of messing around with regedit, MS Powertoys and etc. I found a little program called WinKill that gives you a TaskBar widget to easily switch your WIN key on and off. Brilliant!

The two side buttons on my mouse are already assigned to other functions. I will try to soldier on without them.

Now if I could just figure out how to disable my task bar from popping up, I'll be a happy player.

I know a lot of people are bob nobbing on sonys log in here, but the M&K binds are all over the place.

You can set it up like the batman games and it plays fine. The port is okay, rebinding is available, but its a lil' jank. There are some recommended settings on YT and on reddit that people are using.

Attack on Mouse Left
Block on Mouse Right
Heavy on Mouse 4
Aim on Mouse 5
Heal on Mouse Special Button

Works like a champ for me. Good luck!
