Put quick items to "1" and spells to "2"

That's all i can think of.

i was thinking about changing the arrow keys to 1-4 so itll be closer and able to be done with one hand as well as wont have to move all the way across the keyboard... just havent done it yet

i played all dark souls series on K&M and i think i can give you few advices.
first set the selection arrows (the ones you switch weapons and spells & items) to 1 for left weapon slot and 3 for right weapon slot. for spells and itemss the mouse wheel shall do it.
set R for duel weilding, E to use item, Q to "interact" or the otthher way around.

Reverse the mouse buttons attack, assign left hand attack to left mouse button and assign right hand attack to right mouse button, so it now makes ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense...

now thee default "go back" (B on controller) button is Q and the "Enter" (A on controller) is assigned to E, this can be very annoyin if you change the above settings. i would recommend changing them to what ever you please.... or just leave them and get used to it

and incase you didn't notice, Heavy attack (RT) is basically SHIFT+ATK BUTTON. i think its not bad so just leave it

and parry (LT) is LEFT CTRL which is not that bad as well

you can also change the Gesture menu button to T instead of G (so your fingers dont go up and down and keep them above at all times)

My controls are hilarious but i could tell you them still

Mouse switches spells with left click and items with right click
Mouse wheel click uses items

E is right handed light R is Right handed Heavy
Shift is left handed light Tab is Left handed Heavy

F is 2 hand
C is switch Left hand V is Switch Right hand Space is roll and run
G is jump
X is target
Z is Walk

I think that's all

Edit: Wasd movement

mouse 1 - right hand light attack
mouse 2 - right hand strong attack
mouse 3 - auto lock
mouse 4 - left hand light attack
mouse 5 - left hand strong attack

w, a, s ,d - movement
shift - sprint
space - jump/roll
alt - walk
c - kick
x - jump attack
ctrl - use item
q - switch items
tab - two handing
r, f, v, b - change left/right hand items (depends of other actions I am performing... if my thumb is not occupied I use v/b to change weapons, otherwise r/f)
3 - change spells

That was my scheme when I played DkS3.

Man, block on the left shift key. I don't think my little finger is dexterous enough to do that.
Should you play with K&M because your right side controler input does not work close the game - unplug your mouse - start it up again and reinitilize your controler.
You will have to do this every time you fire it up :/ .
