how does keyboard and mouse work?

I remember when it was first released you couldn't re-bind a lot of keys, can you re-bind movement to the arrow keys now?

[Nico Nico Knee]

No, why would you want too?

Preference, different people have different prefrences, who knew? Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah you can't rebind the keys ingame unfortunately.

There are other ways though :
How to Customize Dead Rising 2 PC Controls[segmentnext.com]

Summary (from link above):
Find the file here ....../Dead Rising 2 Off the Record/Data/Controls/keymap.txt
Backup the file just incase you mess up , and modify the keybinds to your choosing
Save

Also Autohotkey works in this game to, this is what I use.

Here is the script I use to rebind the keys:

;These lines for (! == Alt)

hotkey, <!Q, Psescipt
