So much better with Mouse+Keyboard

[Sotanaht]

I can actually dash attack naturally. No more awkward claw grips. And I can use items without the stupid xbox depad ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me over, and I can actually AIM ranged weapons. The actual controls will take a little getting used to, but it's a HUGE improvement.

I've got 200 hours on the game in its controller only state. It's only taken me 20 minutes to see how much of a dramatic improvement keyboard and mouse controls are, and half of that was setting it up. Piece of advice: I hope you have a 5 button mouse, use a utility like x-mouse button control to make MB4 a keyboard key and bind it to something like block. Having one more easily useable mouse button is massive for this sort of game.

Games like this don't feel good for ME on M&KB.

FPS feel good with M&KB, that's it, oh well also isometric ARPG like Diablo and those RTS games. The rest I need a controller

Any game where there is camera control (so most 3d action games), I prefer with mouse. The analogue stick is just too slow for me, even when I max the turn speed of the camera.

I don't mind using the controller for true 2d games like sonic mania, for example, but I can still play those fine with just a keyboard.

Nah this kind of game is simply better with gamepad. Unless you have a magical analog keyboard, you cant move forward slowly which can be important in this game at some points.

Not hating on m/kb users, but fact is if you play this without a controller, just like Soulsgames, you're missing out. There is a reason all the WR speedrunners use a controller

First, you can move forward slowly by holding down a key, ctrl by default. Second, it's not at all important at any point in the game.

Lack of analog directional movement is countered by full control of the camera. 8 directions is more than enough when you can just angle your camera slightly to move anywhere you want.

Every time
Please give me one concrete reason as to why this game is better on a controller.

Just to remind you:
+A single hand on the wasd keys can access more keys than there are in an entire controller.
+Mouse control is simply better for controlling the camera.
+-Analogue movement makes 0 difference when you have full camera control.
+-Just hold a button to move slowly when you need to.

Meanwhile, controller has
+can be played on couch? Well I'm not moving my pc to the living room.

You're just used to controllers. That's fine. But to say that they are objectively better for 3d action games is silly.

[Sotanaht]

I'll tell you the one type of game where controllers ARE objectively better: Racing. Well, anything driving or related to vehicles. Controllers are better for analog steering, throttle, and breaking in ways that a keyboard simply can't replicate. Of course, there exist even better input devices for those types of games.

M&K IS SO MUCH BETTER ,THANKS TO THE DEVELLOPER///anyone got suggegtion as to configering the Keyboard.

[Gibbon100]

Yeah I don't get people that use M&KB. I don't know why controller feels better but I would never play games like this or dark souls with a keyboard

Some one posted "locking on" is F , Iin camera controls.

Glad M+K is now supported in a good way (very few issues like lock on / mouse 4 and 5 not supported).
It will be a far better experience for me once I re-learn the game (200 hours playing Nioh on a gamepad, even for someone who didn't use a gamepad before Nioh since 2016, it's hard to do the transition). There is a lot of muscle memory for some combos (Ki Pulse + Ki Flux 1 & 2 for example).
Does some of you struggle too to do the transition ?

And then come the (wtf how do you play this x game with m+k, such games only playable with gamepad) guy.
It's basically devs fault for not optimizing controls on the PC instead of copy-pasta controller layout, but if they actually built a new layout for m+k with the whole world thingy of binding and shortcuts that m+k can achieve, it would be a much superior experience and less tedious
