*Wouldn't mind knowing this myself, considering I haven't tried it out with K&M.*

I played a lil bit with the keyboard and mouse, and I can tell you that the controls are a bit weird, but it's playable with K&M[Not like Dark Souls, that was a mess if you wanted to play with K&M](although I recommend everyone to use a gamepad).

Weird but usable
WASD, e = menu & the mouse controls the camera, select combat stuff using WSD and enter or LMB
ESC is quit, really silly but hey!

I'm using KB+M, and its not bad.

I have a gamepad plugged in, because it fixes a weird stuttering issues, but I don't use it. I like KB+M controls. ^^

From what I've played so far, the controls for KB&M are perfectly fine.

- E opens the menu
- WASD is used for movement, which is fine considering the game. In-battle, you can use either the arrow keys or WASD to move the cursor. Personally I'm preferring WASD & Enter
- As mentioned, exiting out of the game is done by pressing Esc, which brings up a "Yes/No" do-you-want-to-quit prompt. Even accidental pushes of Esc means that you shouldn't have a problem with premature exits, unless you also happen to be accidentally pressing Enter at the same time (As I think the prompt defaults to "Yes").

All in all, its perfectly playable with KB&M

Edit: Also, one thing I forgot to mention is that you can skip most cutscenes by pressing 0, which pauses the cutscene, then 1.

I actually really like it with keyboard and mouse. They implemented mousewheel scrolling for menus and I think you can navigate the combat menus faster than the animations can even happen. I have a PS3 controller that I use on PC and love, but I am playing with keyboard and mouse.

If you're playing full screen, ESC hard closes the game. Windowed mode gives you a confirmation - just be careful.

It has some weird mouse acceleration, but you get used to it and learn to move your mouse slowly. I've only seen a problem if you want to turn around quickly, but WASD seems to work better for turning like that.

You do not get the Yes/No do you want to quit prompt if you are in fullscreen mode, it is a automatic no questions asked closing of the game. You only get the prompt if you are in windowed mode.

Ah, didn't know that. Not surprising, I suppose, since I usually play my games in windowed mode anyways, so as to make it simpler to switch YouTube videos when I need to.

Is there anyway to walk using K&M? I checked the online maual and google but got nothing.

The right mousebutton is used as backspace. you can play the whole game with hands on wasd and mouse. Only the pause button is on 0 (iirc). But i really suggest using a joypad.
