keyboard? Tips?

[Venomfate]

Hey I'm not sure if this was asked already but is this game playable with a keyboard? I've seen everyone play with a controller and no one with a keyboard.
I don't have a controller though. And if anyone has tips on how to play with a keyboard.
Thank you!

As i've said in another thread, you can try this if the default settings for keyboard aren't comfortable to you:

You might need to do some rebinding on the keyboard to fit them to your liking (I changed it to a WASD setup which i found MUCH more comfortable than default), but other than that, it's perfectly fine on keyboard. The game felt a bit unresponsive for me some times but i'm not really sure what's causing it, so that might be irrelevant.

If you're curious about my key bindings it's:
WASD - movement
Space - jump
Shift - dash
left arrow - shoot
up arrow - lock
right arrow - switch
numpad 0 - super

I play using a keyboard.

My bindings are.

Movement: Arrow Keys
Caps Lock: Switch Attack
A: Lock
S: Dash
D: Jump
F: Shoot
G: Ex-Shoot

I am at the second world right now and I use these controls
Arrrows Move
Shift: dash
Space: jump
Z:Shoot
X: Lock
C: Special Ability
S: Switch Guns

It's 100% possible, but it's usually easier with a controller.

Movement: Arrows
Shift: Dash
Space: Jump
Shoot: D
Special: S
Position Lock: A
Switch Guns: W

The main difference is that parry (A timed second jump on pink objects) is harder on the keyboard and you can't parry low-medium flying projectiles easily due to the time taken to tap the keys twice in succession. To parry low-medium flying objects, perform the second jump as Cuphead's falling. Using the lock key on the keyboard can be a little confusing too.

I don't know how you can stand using the arrow keys to move. I'm too used to using my left hand with WASD to move in every game.

This was one of my concerns though. I don't have an Xbox controller, and PS4 controllers are notoriously difficult to get to work on some games, so I'd be mainly stuck with keyboard.
