Does it go well without controller?

Title.

It is doable but as usual these sort of games work best with a controller.

You have to be good, but yes you can beat it on a keyboard - the game has limited binds and you can't bind to mouse

These games are generally fine played on keyboard, but since this game has shooting instead of melee it's more annoying - also the not mouse binding makes it even more annoying

Can you rebind the keys to whatever you want?
This game caught my attention but i don't have a controller.

Yes, I played it with default keyboard controls and it feels fine

Don't care about mouse as long as i can rebind the controls to any keys on the keyboard.
with platformers or platformer shooters i usually try to rebind the keys to the most comfortable position for me and just go with that though the game.

keyboard works, but contrlller is much easier due to the reactiveness of it.

Remember a windows PC can use XBOX controllers by default on a fresh install (I think 7 and above, I can't remember if XP does it or not.) and with a program, can also use PS4 controllers.

You can rebind keys on both here which made is fun. Being able to rebind dash from Y to Right trigger was super super helpful for dodging.

Someone please explain to me why does everyone think playing with a controller is always better than keyboard?
With the keyboard you have your fingers over 3 movement keys at all times and can instantly press them. As such, you can also change direction instantaneously. Whereas with a controller you have to move your thumb in the direction you want to move.

I have a gamepad, and I like playing 3D games with it, where precise directional control is important. Cuphead is definitely not one of those.
