NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO USE ARROW KEYS INSTEAD OF WASD, CANT EVEN EDIT MY CONTROLS AND GET FINGER CRAMPS FROM PRESSING SHIFT LIKE I CAN PLAY SM4SH 3DS AND THIS ♥♥♥♥ JUST GIVES ME HAND PROBLEMS LIKE I PLAY MELEE OR SOMETHING JUST ADD A CONTROL EDITOR HOLY ♥♥♥♥ DUD! (SORRY FOR ALL CAPS IT SHOW HOW ANGRY I AM SEEEEE?)

[TOKNR]

it tells you when you start the game, its recommended to use a controller.
you can get a cheap wired 360 controller for $15 or so at any game store. even cheaper online.
If you have a wireless one, the usb adapter for pc is like $10 anywhere.
Ive had my wired one longer than ive had my pc. its a great investment. Im sure you can find any $5 generic usb controller online and use it.
Please dont cry about a game if you dont have the proper hardware to play it.
Like getting an Xbox and only buying ps4 titles and wondering why it doesnt work.

It flies like a dream with a controller, and even with one, you're not as good as you think you are, till you try and try again;

When I bought this game it didnt state i needed any other hardware and i was unaware i dont have too much money to spare and it is more just a fault of the dev's because they are aware that keyboard controls suck and they dont give an alternitive like controls editing

He just told you how to edit the controls to make it amazing-
Playing the game specifically with a gamepad is amazing!!!!! beyond any repair will it make you go back to keyboard; keyboard and mouse is strictly for RPG and FPS;

Hey, if you're on keyboard and want to remap your controls, follow these steps.

Go into Program Files(x86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Super Meat Boy and then open buttonmap.cfg in an editor (I use Notepad++). Here you can change the bindings.

Normally, it would be:

keyboard
{
	up="up";
	down="down";
	left="left";
	right="right";
	jump="space";
	special="shift";
}

gamepad
{
	jump="1";
	special="3";
	useanalog="true";
}

but you can change the bindings however you want here. For example, my controls are:

keyboard
{
	up="W";
	down="S";
	left="A";
	right="D";
	jump="space";
	special="shift";
}

gamepad
{
	jump="1";
	special="3";
	useanalog="true";
}

SIDE NOTE: the controls only work in-game, not the menu. So the menu will be operated with arrow keys still. You'll want to save the file as a .xml and have the name be buttonmap.cfg

Default controls are cancer.

Mrjodicow is correct, you can change the basic controls through the main file but to change things like pause or for some other nifty tricks a third party remapping software is required. Crucrux has posted one used by a lot of speedrunners.

Keyboard has an advantage over controller for some other characters but for meat boy its simply preference.

[Crucrux]

Naija is definitely better with keyboard

You're the first person I saw who usually uses WASD instead of arrow keys for 2D platformers.
