How does it play with Mouse and Keyboard?

[luijix]

Most of the Reviews are negative because of the Hotas support issues, but how does it play with M&K?

[Mud]

No mouse support.

Well i didn't give it a try and quit the game to keep the chance for refund after i found there is no HOTAS support.

But i doubt if they have mouse support. As there is no mouse in the main menu.
And the default key binding makes me think they are coding with joystick. And some controls are not in favor of keyboard player.

Horrible. Sadly.
Like you are flying a block of wood.

lol plug in a controller nerds

This game is definitely made for controllers so i recommend getting a controller (Xbox or something)

Whats worse is that you can't change keybindings in game - or change mouse sensitivity. You have to go back to the main menu for it.

That being said, this is a console exclusive game franchise.
Why would you want to play it with a keyboard and mouse?

The game's controls has been consist for all previous 10 titles.
It doesn't need to be changed, just get good.

you can pitch and roll with the mouse. And can change key binds. Just not in game. You have to do that in the main menu which is very annoying.

Its very basic mouse pitching as well, not like say with Elite or Star Citizen which plays very well with mouse controls.

Best thing tho is to just plug in a xbox controller.

Because they removed Joystic support for this game, so they changed the controls for this game in particular, hence why he's asking if he can use his keyboard as an alternative.

Just use Xpadder or something. It's not hard.

What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and most of it is off topic.
I dont know why you bother to answer my question if MK controls are fine, if you have not tried it at all and are just screaming "get a controller" at everyone.
I have a controller, but flying is much more precise with a Mouse, so I was wondering if that was an option.

Thanks to the few people that actually bothered to answer the question this thread was about.

i have no idea why people are saying controls don't work with a mouse, i literally play with mouse and keyboard and it works just fine.
The only thing i would reccomend is definitely tweek your sensitivity settings to something that works well for you, other than that, it just takes a bit of getting used to. i found that after the first few matches and adjusting sensitivity i wasn't having nearly as much difficulty flying

and yes i realize no mouse support in menus is a thing, but the mouse is perfectly capable of flying in-game.

The problem with the mouse controls is that in order to hold a pitch or roll input, you need to keep moving the mouse. Not really a problem with rolls as you can probably perform an entire 360° rotation with one horizontal sweep of the mouse but trying to hold pitch maneuvers for extended periods means you'll be picking up and repositioning your mouse a lot.

I'm not sure handling it a different way (forcing you to recenter your mouse to cease an input) would be any better though.

Good info, thanks
