Best keyboard controls?

[liverBuster]

I'm 10 minutes into the game and can't figure out how to do basic movements with the keyboard, xbox tutorials etc.. So damn uncomfortable. IS there any way to configure it?

For the record, most keyboards will suffer 'ghosting'. Can't press certain combinations of keys at the same time.

You'll have to experiment with control configurations to help alleviate that, get a keyboard that's very anti-ghost friendly, or pick up a controller.

I use default, but for melee "J" and for ranged - "I", like in 3-rd game. Successfully playing in DMD with S rank in all missions right now with Vergil (not yet finished; other characters are also is not the problem). This may be uncomfortable at first, and may seem like a "HOW A HELL I CAN PLAY WITH KEYBOARD AAAAA" (like jumping in first Dark Souls), but it's a matter of time, and soon everything will be very simple and ordinary, if you have right hands.

Like a lot of bad reviews about the "terrible port" of the third Devil May Cry, but I have passed cracked version with Dante (normal) and Vergil (Hard, DMD) and I have not experienced a single problem but the gameplay complexity. Also like with Resident Evil 4 and etc. . It seems like too many casuals we have.

I prefer I for melee and J for ranged,as my keyboard doesnt acknowledge W space and J at the same time,and stinger type moves are imo more important than shooting while moving closer.

Also played DMC3 until DMD mission 3(because im not that good at the game to go further without items) and didnt have any issue.Really dont know where all the reputation of "bad port" comes from,just like DS1.

Yea, 2 hours in and I think I got used to it, Q for shooting, E for sword, and everything else not too much spaced out on the keyboard.

Welp, same

I for melee, J for ranged, K for jump, L for grab, Space for lock-on, M for devil trigger and WASD for movement. Spent hundreds of hours playing original retail version.

Must have been painful with full default.
