How can I change the keyboard bindings?

[JiePie]

I can't figure out how to change the key bindings at the input menu. I'm wondering if it's even possible at all for the keyboard.

The game would be virtually impossible with the keyboard, I wouldnt bother. Get an Xbox controller.

I have been playing Geometry Wars 1 all this time with a keyboard, and I am managing the 3rd edition just fine as well.

I have been playing with keyboard since geo 1. I have some decent top scores. The game is NOT impossible with a M+K. Some of the top players use M+K.

There is no reason we cannot rebind keys for M+K or even the controller. It is just lazy design in my opinion.

I'm impressed, I'm useless with anything more than WASD.

The question was about how to change input keys, not whether it is possible with a keyboard or not or what keys are better. I also surprised there is no way to change keys. WASD is stupid because you dont need two fingers to control two opposite directions left/right. Since Descent 1 I am playing QA - left/right, WS - up/down, and I have free finger for E - use and D - reload. And I want to be able to change input mappings.

HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU "MAKE A PC GAME" WITHOUT THE PPTION TO REMAP KEYS????????? DONT GO FULL R3TARD!!, EVER!!! AND YOU JUST DID!!

+1 - having a game without keyboard rebinding is stupid. Also I don't want to use an RSI generator (i.e. controller), they suck for mouse and keyboard shooters as there is no precision for shooting at all.

You could try a key remapper program.

I'm using a Move Navigation Controller in combination with a mouse. Works great!

Sick of these lazy ass devs who don't implement keyboard binding...it doesn't take that much and you completely bone those who want to play this with other controllers, ie: Tankstick on an arcade machine. Seriously...been a dev for over 15 years, it's inexcusable.

Same with the people who made The Binding of Isaac. Lazy ass console games ported over to make a couple bucks on the PC market... Thanks for nothing :\

May I ask how you managed to do that? I'm also trying to do the same thing, but having no success.

On a separate note, how do you charge your Navigation Controllers? I've owned two since 2011 (which were never used), and I can't get them to turn on, even if the red light blinks when charging using any methods (Sony's official charging station, third-party dock. connected to PC via USB).

Iirc I installed FireShock_Setup_1.3.1.0, that makes it show up in Win10. In Steam you'll then have to configure all the buttons.

I connect it to my pc using a mini USB (camera) cable. I only use it wired, no dongle.

I need to start reading these threads before buying games. Add this game to others I have bought assuming just by the gamestyle I can easily play on a home arcade cabinet but since you can't do something as simple as remapping the keyboard controls this is money wasted.
